Not sure why you're getting downvoted (jk I know exactly why). HN will have an entire goddamn Bollywood dance number around the fact that big corporations screw people over, and government has to come in and fix it. "Omg wow, this is great! Why didn't we do this sooner?" Well, tech has a spasming tantrum every time anyone even hints at maybe not letting companies do whatever they want all the time, including most of the people here, and Congress has long since been captured by business interests and people who think the government makes hurricanes.

The solutions are not at all technically challenging, our political system just isn't effective anymore. That's why regulatory bodies do what they can to make rules while Congress and tech companies sit around counting their money.

The vice president's opinions are not relevant, especially if they only stated those opinions before joining the presidential ticket.

It's not worth the bits this line was printed to screen with.

Trump will do away with the FTC because it stands in the way of their goal of dismantling the executive administration. The only thing JD Vance supports about keeping Lina Khan is keeping her captured and institutionally bound so she cannot bring legislation forward against their agenda as a citizen.

There is absolutely no chance Trump's donors, which include the A16Z clowns, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and a lot of anti-regulation people in Silicon Valley, are going to allow Lina Khan to stick around. Vice presidents have no power, and Vance is not on the ticket because Trump is interested in his opinion on the FTC. He's on the ticket because he said he wouldn't have peacefully transferred power like Pence did, and that's the only reason.

JD Vance once compared Trump to Hitler, so I think what he says means nothing.
