Is it more anti competitive than McDonald's only selling McDonald's burgers or preventing you from bringing Taco Bell tacos in from outside?

I just use Freetube either way. I can't stand autoplaying videos or suggestions, popups, etc.
The current US Federal Trade Commission is quite agressive compared to other FTCs historically.
None of that affects people's ability to disseminate information anywhere close to the constraints put on people by traditional publishing. Again, how many people have ever posted to social media vs how many people have ever published a book?
It wasn't the giving money, it was the fast tracking in terms of regulations. Many people in Trump's position would not have done that and would have waited the expected 18 months instead of the 11 that it actually took. Some in the industry were concerned as it was happening. Plenty of other countries dragged their feet in the approval process more than the US did.
Trump wasn't single handedly responsible for the approvals. Far from it. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't know much of the details. But it still seems he was pushing for it where other people wouldn't have. I'm not sure Biden would have. Trump likes to play fast and loose where Biden is a bit stuffier.
Basically I think my vote matters even if it doesn't matter, so I vote for people I actually want. Lol. If there was a race where I had a strong preference between the two main party candidates and I thought my vote would have an impact, I'd ditch the third party for that race.
If your bit was sarcasm, then that makes more sense. Trump was not particularly good on Covid, but we would have had a big problem regardless of who was president at the time.
With Trump him sitting in meetings still doesn't mean he's heard of it. Lol.
Anyway, I'm just saying Heritage is the mastermind, not Trump.
Every country got Covid, basically. You know that, right?
I'll be honest, unless you were in a special circumstance, that sounds like a you problem not a Trump problem. I didn't and wouldn't vote for him, but for most people he did not affect their day to day that much. 2020 was the peak of actual influence on daily life, but I don't think that had as much to do with Trump as people imply, either. The whole world got Covid. The US had a bit more deaths per capita than the rest of the developed world (less than UK) but it also has a less healthy population in general.
I think we all sort of trained each other to fixate on the president and be anxious if they're not on our team.
Every vote matters. That's why I vote third party. Lol
That's less restrictive than what I said. McDonald's won't let you bring tacos in at all, doesn't just make you wait at the door for 2 minutes, etc.
Edit: and to anyone quibbling with my McDonald's example saying you can in fact bring tacos in, that was just an illustration. I can find plenty of examples of one establishment not letting people bring food in from somewhere else.
