“Insulting”- Labor Unions That Endorsed Biden Now Lashing Out At Him

Several unions that eagerly endorsed President Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election are now learning the hard way what it means to support Democrat policies.

During his first day in office, the newly-inaugurated president revoked the construction permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline, thus destroying thousands of jobs.

And not just any jobs — but union jobs.
TC Energy Corp., the Canadian company that shares ownership of the pipeline with the Alberta government, had estimated that 10,000 jobs — in addition to the 1,000 already established — would be created in 2021 alone thanks to the construction of the pipeline.

A total of 42,000 jobs were expected to be filled once the pipeline was completed.

Big Tech nemesis Lina Khan is gaining traction for top Biden antitrust role

Outgoing FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra has been advocating for Khan’s nomination.

Lina Khan, an antitrust expert, Columbia law professor and thorn in the side of Big Tech, is gaining traction as a candidate to fill one of the commissioner roles at the Federal Trade Commission under President Joe Biden, three sources familiar with the discussions told Recode this week.

Khan would likely fill the commissioner seat currently held by Rohit Chopra, a Democrat who Biden has tapped to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Chopra has been advocating for the nomination of Khan, the sources said, with one person familiar with deliberations calling her a current “frontrunner.” Khan served as a legal fellow at the FTC in Chopra’s office in 2018 and at the CFPB as a summer associate while Chopra worked there.

Khan and Chopra did not respond to messages seeking comment. A White House spokesperson declined to comment. The Capitol Forum first reported on Khan’s traction.

The FTC plays a key role in investigating companies’ business practices to preserve competition by enforcing federal antitrust laws, and to prevent consumer harm. The agency also reviews major company acquisitions and mergers in an attempt to preserve industry competition, and it can sue companies and impose penalties for violating federal laws. For example, the FTC in the last year has separately sued the companies that own the Gillette and Schick razor brands, respectively, to stop them from acquiring or merging with up-and-coming rivals.

The FTC is led by five commissioners, but Biden has two roles to fill with Chopra leaving and current Republican FTC chair Joe Simons recently announcing his resignation. When those two spots are filled, Democrats will have a 3-2 majority at the top of the commission and can decide to file lawsuits or agree to settlements with companies alleged to have violated antitrust laws.

If Khan is nominated and then confirmed by the Senate, it would mark a blow to the Big Four tech companies — Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Apple — that have been trying to avoid having the government rein in their unmatched economic and societal power. Khan played a crucial role as legal counsel for the House antitrust subcommittee’s 16-month investigation into the Big Tech giants, and in producing the 400-page House Democrat report that alleged that all of the tech giants engage in anti-competitive practices and need to be reined in.

Khan burst onto the scene in antitrust circles in 2017 when she penned a legal paper dubbed “Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox,” which spread widely among proponents and critics alike. It emphasized the need for enhanced antitrust enforcement and argued that current antitrust doctrine is ill-suited to rein in internet giants like Amazon. Over the last few decades, US antitrust enforcers have for the most part favored business practices that keep consumer prices low; companies like Amazon, with its low prices, or Google and Facebook with their “free” services, have until recently avoided much scrutiny.

Google is already facing three antitrust lawsuits filed late last year by the Department of Justice and the attorneys general of dozens of states. And the FTC and other state attorneys general have filed antitrust suits against Facebook that call for the company to unwind its Instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions. Recode has previously reported that the Federal Trade Commission also continues to probe various Amazon business practices to determine if Jeff Bezos’s corporation is violating antitrust laws.

While one FTC commissioner’s worldview alone won’t directly lead to the commission taking action against the tech giants that it otherwise wouldn’t have, Khan’s appointment could signal that the Biden administration is ready to take a harder stance against Big Tech than the Obama administration was. Progressives in favor of increased regulation of Big Tech have been concerned by reports that Biden is considering two officials — who have previously advised tech giants — for the top antitrust role at the Department of Justice, which can also bring suits against companies for violating antitrust laws.

It remains to be seen whether Biden’s antitrust appointments at the DOJ and FTC will end up being a patchwork of officials with varying views of how big of an issue corporate consolidation is in tech and beyond, or whether they will be aligned in a belief that the power and business practices of these giants are also a threat to the economy and consumers. Either way, it’s hard to think of an appointment that would worry the tech conglomerates more than Khan’s would, both because of her expertise in scrutinizing their practices and the huge role her writings and counsel have already played in influencing lawmakers’ view of the threat Big Tech poses.

Scott Galloway: Why 2021 will be a year of reckoning for Big Tech
I’ve been calling for the breakup of Big Tech for years. But the last few months of 2020 give me hope that antitrust action is actually going to happen.

That is why the biggest economic boost that the Biden-Harris administration can deliver won’t be stimulus or bailouts, it will be committing funding and political support for serious antitrust enforcement. I’ve been calling for the antitrust breakup of Big Tech for years, but the last few months of 2020 give me hope that this is going to happen. In that period, we witnessed a surge of legislative and legal actions that respond to the problems of concentrated capital generally and the dangers of Big Tech specifically. If we maintain this momentum, we stand a chance of not only restoring competition and innovation to our markets, but also of beginning the more fundamental repair process our nation needs.(...)

Washington city's mayor rushed to safety after homeless-advocate rioters storm City Hall
Some rioters pulled down an American flag outside the building and stomped on it -- until someone was able to save the flag, a report said

Amerikanci su postali debeli kad su počeli jesti fast food.

Nevjerojatno mi je da se jednoj zemlji prvog svijeta do nedavno može prodati ono smeće koje većina ljudi tamo konzumira.

Da ti vidiš redove pred mekdrekom kod nas, ja se svaki put zgrozim kad to vidim.

Posljedice će biti pad satnica, porast nezaposlenosti i nastavak uništavanja bijele srednje radničke klase, bogatiji sve bogatiji siromašni sve siromašniji te nastavak pada TFR i ukratko nastavak pada zdravlja svake vrste te porast degeneracije svake vrste.

Da ti vidiš redove pred mekdrekom kod nas, ja se svaki put zgrozim kad to vidim.

I šta hoćeš reći s time majketi? Tradicionalisti trebaju podržavati koncentraciju moći i kapitala u rukama 0,1% jer je eto tako uvijek bilo?
S tim da budimo iskreni, u tim prošlim vremenima i plemić i kmet su bili zmazani, bolesni, nikakvi. Nikakve tehnologije nije bilo. Danas je milijun puta veća razlika u kvaliteti života između vrha i dna kace.

To što se događa je zapravo vraćanje na čovječanstvo koje je postojalo tisućama godina, mali postotak bogatih u dvorcima i većina sirotinje koja radi za minimalac. Razlika je što su oni nekad bili neuhranjeni a ovi sada će biti predebeli.

Period blagostanja zapadnog čovjeka na koji se tradicionalisti pozivaju je zapravo vrlo kratak i privremen period u povijesti od nekih 50-100 godina, ovisno kako gdje.

Razliak između kmeta i feudalca je bila milijun puta MANJA nego danas. A oskudica nije bila uzrokovana lošom preraspodjelom ,nego lošom kvanitetom.

Tako da taka svijet neće lako biti prihvaćen.

Kasno ste se sjetili, naivčine. Zavlačio vas narančasti četiri godine da sjedite doma i čekate riješenje svojih problema, a toga draga djeco nigdje nema...

Definisi feudalca danasnjice i kmeta danasnjice. Ekstremni primjer je multimilijarder vlasnik gigakorporacije i berac secerne trske u Indoneziji. Neki normalniji primjer bi bio vlasnik lanca supermarketa i radnica na kasi.

Feudalac je vjerovatno mogao da ubije kmeta bez vecih posljedica. Kmet nema nikakvu vertikalnu mobilnost.
Multimilijarder vjerovatno moze da ubije par beraca secerne trske i da se izvuce sa tim. Berac ima vertikalnu mobilnost u teoriji.
Vlasnik lanca supermarketa ne moze tek tako da ubije radnicu. Radnica ima vertikalnu mobilnost.

Feudalac nije mogao ubiti kmeta tek tako, zapravo puno je lakše danas moćnicima nekoga ubiti nekažnjeno nego onda.
Feudalci su imali društvenu funkciju pruanja obrane, oni su bili ratnici. Današnji moćnici nemaju ulogu koja koristi društvu, a kroz lobističko-koruptive radnej uspsotavljaju kronistički sustav koji opet refeudalizira stvari jer dokida tržišnu utakmicu.

Ali ono najvažnije, feudalac i kmet su živjeli u glavnom slično, ovaj prvi je možda češće jeo meso i ta je sva razlika među njima. Zimi su se oba smrzaval ,ljeti obojici bilo vruće.

James Bessen of Boston University has provided suggestive evidence that rent-seeking behavior has been increasing. In a 2016 paper Bessen demonstrates that, since 2000, “political factors” account for a substantial part of the increase in corporate profits. This occurs through expanded regulation that favors incumbent firms. Similarly, economists Jeffrey Brown and Jiekun Huang of the University of Illinois have found that companies that have executives with close ties to key policy makers have abnormally high stock returns.

Našao na jednom forumu, zanimljivo.

Nije da nesto simpatisem Netanjahua ili Amerikance al ne postoji nijedan dokaz o ovoj izjavi. Ne znam na osnovu cega si povjerovao, ovo je mogao napraviti Bosnjak007 (ili bilo koji drugi anti-zidov/pro-arap). Niti linkovi na slici rade. Kako bi se to reklo na americkom, slika je "not worth a jack shit".

Medjutim, zanimljivi su objelodanjeni izvjestaji prije par godina kako je uistinu bilo izraelskih zvanicnika u odbrani, novinara, advokata i bitnijih ljudi koji su bili spijuni KGB-a (naravno, ne radi se o Netanjahuu ).
