I don't want them to be required to tell me why they're overcharging! I want them to be required to not overcharge!

"and it looks like it was a .357 magnum bullet, interesting markings on the shells, appear they may have been sourced from a European supplier."

Toothless placating noise from the pedophile’s FTC, which is meaningless.

After the midterms this effort will go away, unless we defeat the Nazis

How about force companies to stop price discrimination? 🤷 Is that crazy?

"Here's how's you're being fucked" is not helpful...

I'd be alright with "Bill Gates? That will be five million dollars." and "Broke ass looking guy? That will be two pennies, rounded down."

Yes it is crazy. You'd be stopping profits, and that is a sin.

I mean, okay.

Step 0: Company secretly abuses you. Step 1: New regulation requires that the abuse be disclosed.

More than I expected out of this administration. Honestly thought they'd say "Do it more! Abuse of customers is innovation or something!"

Obviously the solution is actually to make this practice illegal and aggressively persue violators like they're Ecuadorian fishermen and a new batch of Epstein emails dropped with incomplete redactions, but the bar for this administration is so low it's somewhere at the bottom of the river Styx, so gg I guess.
