Why do regular people like this? For real, is it all "Those People Have it Worse", or do they just like the government making things worse for it's own sake?

There's people who like this who will never benefit at all, does anyone know why?

I don't get it. Then again I don't get the appeal of tearing the wings off of flies either.

Could you explain what you’re referring to? Isn’t the FTC trying to make it better (with key staff getting fired as they try)?

POTUS fired two Dem members of the FTC, and the remainder voted to delay enforcement.

Some people like this, where companies get to effectively scam people by deliberately not enforcing rules preventing it. I don't know why people like this. I speculated that it was due to some dumb new bigotry of some sort, as a wild guess as to why people like it when the gov't harms people for no reason.
