When the legal system is setup to rely so heavily on money that even the government can&#x27;t go against it, you know shit is bad, yo.<p>Also, say what you will, but the US situation right now, this matter included, is definitely &quot;novel and thought provoking&quot; so if this thread is flagged, I am not convinced the people flagging it are doing it just because of HN rules.

I&#x27;d say most people who work on this kind of zero-sum winner takes all approach to life would call that a win. The rest of us who want regulators who can regulate and believe in a mutuality? less winning.<p>If I put a certain pair of billionaire&#x27;s names in here, it just annoys people. I guess if they read and can intuit, I don&#x27;t have to resort to calling anyone &quot;Winnie the Pooh&quot; to get around the noise filters but I am interested what nominative determinism could apply. Elongated names are better. Ones with a suitably fragrant, anal scent gland, Musky kind of smell.

The oligarchs will get exactly what they paid for (seemingly even more than usual) with this admin.

That is the point of Doge. All of the first agencies they went after were investigating Elon&#x27;s companies. Time for Bezoa to get his turn sucking on the Trump teat.

After this, the FTC reversed position saying it was &quot;fully prepared&quot; after pressure from the Trump administration.
