This man has quite possibly talked to more constituents during his campaign than any other campaign in US history. An executive order to ban gyms from making it difficult to cancel a membership sounds like exactly "what the people want". Almost stereotypically so
- uoaei 10mo agoThere are dozens of low-hanging fruit to appease the citizenry that have been explained away as nonviable by talking heads and PR departments for decades. I'm excited to see just how much corporate hand-wringing is exposed as the selfish money-grubbing anti-social behavior that it is.
- SpicyLemonZest 10mo agoI'm interested to see too, but I hope you won't let your excitement lead you to forgetting that we need to check later whether the measures accomplish their goals before declaring victory. The talking head position was never that it's impossible for a politician to declare they don't like junk fees.
- xg15 10mo agoAs we should with conservative or "pro-business" politicians. But what goals specifically do you mean here?
- mschuster91 10mo ago> But what goals specifically do you mean here? The complaint from the people is "it's difficult to cancel a gym membership". A metric to judge the success of a policy tackling that could be the # of complaints to consumer protection associations, authorities, politicians, or bank chargebacks.
- samrus 10mo agoYeah. Another way to collect that metric is surveying people to ask them if cancelling their gym membership was easier I do get the previous commenters hesitance though. It feels like you are holding mambani to a higher stnadard that anyone in america has held corporation in regard to something like the blatant wage theft they commit. Seems a bit of selective enforcement
