We need the FTC to grow a pair and regulate the subscription model out of existence. The FTC should exist to protect consumers against unfair trade practices. They've slept so hard the fucking military is about to get duped.
Embarrassing.
And while we're at it's the FCC could end phone call spoofing a decade ago, and they could essentially grind scammers to a halt.
We have had nothing but failures in the way of antitrust since the 1890s.
Our regulatory commissions are a fucking joke. How are we the wealthiest country in the world of those who have wealth use it to crush the testicles of our governing bodies?
Edit: should I add that the SEC is basically afraid to go after private equity and private equity is on pace to have more wealth than fucking banks?
Buncha spineless turds helping a few dozen fucks plan an actual fucking mars evac, like... can we just guillotine them all already?
