More Lina Khans and less Ronald Reagans
corporations are openly admitting that they they increased prices without underlying inflationary pressures. Hold them to account. Markets under the influence of monopolies or duopololies are not Free Markets
Fire her??? We need a thousand more Lina Khan's in every part of the government to undo the corporate control of our country
Of she's keeping AOC company….she's got my support.
Mike Bruzzone, FTC attorney enlisted Docket 9341 consent auditor monitor; AMD, Intel, Nvidia, in a federal Congressional and USDOJ assignment at 15 USC 5, 15, 16 and 31 USC 3729, 3730 I recommend to no one. It was unconscious-able and unrealistic to leave this assignment to any among the unknowing on 37 years of industry and FTC Docket 9288 and 9341 discovery aid and consent order auditor monitor in this job assignment. See my Seeking Alpha comment page purposely maintained for government transparency covering the daily details. Mike Bruzzone, Camp Marketing.
Lina Khan for President!
if trump wins the election, he will gut the FTC. Lina Khan will go into an academic world's ivory tower. That will be a big loss for American consumers. So vote carefully this November. It will not be easy for Harris to replace Lina, if she wins the election, as Lina's doing her job transparently, and honestly, upholding the law of the land.
“KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!” – Amazon, Google
wow she speaks so fluidly and is gorgeous
Lina Khan is the #1 thing I will miss about the Biden administration. Unfortunately, even if Kamala wins, she's a goner. The billionaire donors on the Left like the LinkedIn guy are already extorting Kamala into pushing her out if she wins, and we KNOW Trump won't keep her.
She's young, though. She's not going anywhere (unless Boeing gets ahold of her). Here's hoping she sticks around for a long time and wreaks as much havoc on monopolies as she can over a long career!
You can tell by the 60 minute rhetoric that boomers are on the big corp side, and then goes on to connect Lena, appointed by Biden, with Trump, for fighting monopolies.
Oh how the turntables turn
She is going to be a target…. Needs Protection… I wish Lina Khan would get after FDA NanoTech loopholes, for Allowing items in are Foods, Which are not Ingredients and NOT on Ingredients Lists… Either they will Control Us or End Us, via illness….Look Into it. I thing this is what Rob F Kennedy Jr is going after, On Trumps Team, if Trump Wins. They are hurting us, weakening us from the inside.
Amazons prices are no longer low because there are few competitors. This came about by using the strategy of dropping prices so low competitors can make no profit and go out of business. Afterwards, Amazon raises their prices. This is exactly what the Chinese communist party does for Chinese companies everywhere in the world.
I’m sorry but mergers and acquisitions is old school price gouging and the FCC is behind the ball like always. The problem are too big to fail investment firms and big portfolios that own the majority of all the investment firms in America, this is where you have collusion and price gouging and dark money laundered through SUPER PACS. It’s just like 60 minutes editing what matters like corporate greed, supreme justice/political cash for favors. The piece sounded more like a thre4t than reporting (play or loose your job), 60 minutes has become Fox News.
Lina Khan is a treasure to this country. If the oligarchy is stomping their corrupt feet than she is doing the right thing for the people.
Lina Khan should be our first female president
I hope Kamala reinstates her
It's sad how both Trump and Kamala will get rid of her 😢
dropping the price of inhalers from $500 to $30 is insane for people to complain about
This is what this country needs! Teddy Roosevelt had it right. May she continue to ENFORCE our laws!!!!
USA needs more individuals with a backbone. The work of keeping big corporations in check is a PATRIOTIC duty. Continued success!
Lina Khan and Tulsi Gabbard are rare gems America needs desperately
lol I bought shares when it was at 100$ everything is just noise. Let her do her job she’s doing great
She isn’t even as strict as the EU is in protecting consumers. The markets there haven’t collapsed and are doing great. While at the same time, living costs are much lower.
She is doing the American peoples work. Love her!
Let's see she's 34…That means we have to wait 6+ years until she can run for president. She would have my vote.
Real heroes don't always wear capes. So refreshing to finally see someone working in a Govt. position with actual common sense and more importantly someone who appears not to be bought. Not sure how she was allowed to get there but I hope she stays for a long time and inspires others to do the same.
She has recently become my new hero with seeing what she does and how she treats people. We need more people like her.
"Ventuyre capitalists and top CEOs say she's biased against them" ……. That's sounds like EXACTLY what an FTC head SHOULD be. They're not supposed to be a friend of big business! Just as HR isn't a friend of the employee, or business owners aren't a friend of unions. That's the way things are SUPPOSED to work, and the mere expectation of a different norm betrays how broken things are.
That woman is god damn amazing.
While this is amazing, ask yourself : why is this happening now?
No my bills started going up when the rent started going up because property taxes started going through the roof and then insurance and then utilities gasoline and food. Increases in property taxes started All of this.
even Biden's blurb in this segment was cohesive and compeling. Atta boy sleep joe.
amzona is just like Walmart
Thanks, but no thanks.
Wow. She is such a strong, smart and good Person. This should be the future
