Comment "Thanks, Americans!" (Score 1) 221

Sure, Americans pay taxes and inflated costs of goods to provide military security for Europe, drug development, technology development, etc. so they have more money for healthcare, arts, and leisure.

Everybody should need to work less as technology and productivity increases while maintaining the same standard of living, but nooooo, we can't have nice things.

Materialism plays a small part but GenZ has correctly realized that they can never live as well as their grandparents under this regime.

Boomers are happy to shout "avacado toast!" at them from their country-club golf carts.

I wrote here about coming Age Wars a decade ago. Let's hope somebody comes to thier senses.

Comment Re:How does the FTC have this authority? (Score 1) 96

They don't - something like this needs an Act or Congress.

SCOTUS made up some BS "Chevron Deference" in the 80's which has been abused like this since.

The current /Maine Fisheries/ case should dissolve Chevron deference.

We may like the FTC proposal on this one but with that kind of power and no representation it's only counting the days until they do something we absolutely detest. And then there's no effective recourse.
