Even young me knew at the time eliminating this was a bad idea.
- anonym29 2y agoThankfully, we have a system of corporate capture in the US where big government (FCC, in this case) and big business (for-profit media companies, in this case) mutually engage in an incestuous relationship to work against the interests of actual citizens, which is obviously great for everyone. Sarcasm aside, there really does need to be a cool-off period before government workers enter the private sector, and vice-versa, along with restrictions on corporate lobbying and much more aggressive financial transparency requirements for every member of congress if we ever want to address this problem.
