Are you really surprised with this administration? I'd guess if I were a business with a pending investigation/lawsuit, I'd push really hard to "do business" with this environment, as opposed to what may come in 2021.
- Domenic_S 7y agoSome people will make anything an opportunity to say "orange man bad". Here's some other history: * (2014) Verizon settles an overbilling case for $64MM, of which only $36MM went to payouts. [0] * (2015) Verizon settles a robocalling class action for only $4MM. [1] * (2009) Sprint settles an ETF class action for only $17.5MM [2] * (2015) Sprint pays only $131MM to settle a lawsuit about their bungled $36 BILLION merger with Nextel [3] This has far less to do with "this administration" and far more to do with how business is run in America. I'm not saying it's right, not at all, but I do want to point out that buying into this partisan nonsense distracts us (voters) from actually changing the system meaningfully (where "meaningful" is creating an environment where this doesn't happen).
