    The US acting fast to curtail corporate overreach just isn’t going to happen. We stopped doing that in the 70s.

      We stopped acting at all in the 2010s. GOP won’t even pass legislation they asked for anymore.

        That’s the GOP MO. Grind literally everything to a halt until they control both houses and the executive branch, then cut taxes on the rich, cram in as many judicial appointments as possible and weaken regulatory bodies as much as they can. They’ve been running that playbook since the mid 00’s.
