I will never stop supporting Lina Khan. Her tenure at the FTC has accomplished more in the past four years than the past four decades.

Biden's cabinet picks were the most pro working class of any president in my lifetime.

It wasn't a high bar, but they cleared it. Going to miss the faint hope of progress in that direction.

The bar had been set that low, huh?

She kept trying and failing. No monopolies were broken up. Marketplaces continue to freely compete against vendors.

The next administration will quickly reverse anything she's set in motion.

It must suck to be someone who - given any sign of good progress - assumes the inevitability of defeat.

Some of these attempts to build better & establish a reasonableness may survive. Even if the current ruling party at present looks like abusive plutocratic antagonists, it doesn't mean they'll fully dismember every win, and it doesn't mean we wouldn't build back an anti anti-social economics again even if they do regress us.

Hey, I really wanted her to succeed. She didn't, and it sucks.

All I know is I had tons in ATVI and all she did was delay us shareholders from getting paid.

I never understood why she chose that deal to make a stand. It was so obvious she would not win.

Celebrity culture is ruining this country

How is being happy with someone’s job performance celebrity culture?

America had a true hero in Lina Khan for the last 4 years.

Too bad 50% decided to sell out to the billionaires.
