Absolute tragedy to see. I would go to war for our Khan, as she has for us.
- Furious about this! Great effing job Dems! Infuriating how bad they screwed us all!
  
  Really? It's the Dems fault? Or it the average American voter's fault? This was all written in trump's project 2025 and everyone was warned about it. People voted for it, fuck'em
Get ready for corpos to have power and influence like you wouldn't believe.
- ...like nobody in his right mind would and should want.
If this results in the Kroger Albertsons merger going through I'm going to be so pissed.
Aside from that, we have far too many monopolistic companies that need to be brought down a peg. This is going to be miserable.
- It's going to happen. I'm making it a point over the next two months to get my pantry as full as possible before Trump reenters office, just buying extra rice and beans and canned veggies and such.
  Luckily my job includes market-adjustment salary increases, so as far as wages go, my job always keeps up with the market. I'm hoping it'll be enough.
  
  What's your job?
does humphrey still stand? that's from when fdr was not allowed to dismiss one of hoover's ftc commissioners.
- This hardly matters. Trump has always said he's not going to respect the rule of law, and now, with really unprecedented total control of all 3 branches of government (as in, the people that were elected and already there support HIM SPECIFICALLY, not just his party affiliation), he's in a prime spot to just do whatever he likes.
- Does it matter? Dude will do anything he wants in is "official role"
Can't wait for my stock in Buy N' Large to go up.
Instead of 12 megacorps in a trenchcoat it's gonna be 3. Maybe 4.
Awesome.
someone was just tellin me that pamela lost because she did not stand behind lina khan enough. bold move all you cottons out there.

  I mean that's definitely part of it. Lina Khan was one of the best parts of the Biden administration, so if Harris won't even promise that then she wasn't just a status quo candidate; she was a status quo but worse candidate.
  
  worse than trump who would keep kahan? is that the thinking. you will get khan or better with kamala (my bad with the brain fart in my other response)
- pamela
  Didn't know that Baywatch chick was a candidate too
  
  brain fart
