We have the Federal Trade Comission but it needs to have the balls to really protect us.
Even when they step up its usually a small fine the offender just writes off as the cost of doing business.
Corp breaks a law. Makes $100m profit. Gets $10m fine. All good for the books!!

Nope. America is OWNED by rich people. It’s a corporation and they make the laws so all the laws are to help them have more power.

I wouldn’t see it so black-and-whitely. I don’t think Tim Walz is owned by anyone and he is running for VP.

He’s beholden to the corporations controlled by the wealthiest 1%. Anyone who gets elected is already someone who “plays ball” because they don’t get to there otherwise.

Ha you don’t even get to run without people in line to donate to you. And since corp donates for both candidates it’s a win or win situation for them, which implies lose or lose for everyone.
