This is great and all but would the new government actually do anything despite the best efforts of the agencies??
I doubt these crooks would support it at all!
I finally got to the end of the article where they hang this tidbit:
President-elect Donald Trump said this month that he will elevate Commissioner Andrew Ferguson, a Republican attorney, to lead the agency. Following the announcement, Ferguson, “At the FTC, we will end Big Tech’s vendetta against competition and free speech. We will make sure that America is the world’s technological leader and the best place for innovators to bring new ideas to life.”
Trump also said he would nominate Republican lawyer Mark Meador as a commissioner, describing him as an “antitrust enforcer” who previously worked at the FTC and the Justice Department. Meador is also a former aide to Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican who introduced legislation to break up Google.
That is quite a mixed bag response. Leaves me between they won't do nothing, and they might do something.
Yeah, that really narrows it down, doesn't it?
Point is, I don't think these guys have much of a plan in themselves. Sure, the party cooked up project 2025, but the 'leaders' sure are being led here and don't seem to have much grasp of things
Maybe thats naïve
