Thanks for reading you might be the first! I condemn the bots on both sides. They are both trying to galvanize their base rather than facilitate a discussion.

The FCC does profit. But its not like they are stealing that money, they literally create value out of thin air by being the authority that says you are not allowed to interfere with others' spectrum space. But the profit is undisputable, see https://www.cnet.com/news/fcc-rakes-in-45-billion-from-wireless-spectrum-auction/ https://www.cnet.com/news/fcc-rakes-in-45-billion-from-wirel...
The Federal Reserve does the same thing.
