Would prefer this came from Congress rather than the FTC, because I can see at least two different ways this could get sunk from the FTC:
1) The process gets stalled from rollout until 2024, at which point a Republican comes into power, appoints new FTC head, and they roll it back.
2) Companies sue, and SCOTUS rules that this exceeds FTC authority.
But I'll freely concede that there is no way such a bill would ever make it through Congress.
- MajimasEyepatch 4y agoSuch a bill could make it through a Democratic Congress with a large enough Senate majority. Unfortunately we don’t have that right now.
- Spivak 4y agoI have to believe that some, if not most, Republicans would go for a bill like this. A bill that's "freedom-from", costs nothing, is pro-worker while not being pro-labor, you get free talking points for "see you don't need unions."
- MajimasEyepatch 4y agoIt constrains the freedom of corporations, which is far more important to the Republican party than freedom of individuals.
