In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product’s and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.

Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?

    I looked at some of those, and it’s private citizens suing corporations…

    Even the rent one with the DOJ, it’s just them becoming involved in private lawsuits…

    That’s not the same as the government regulating capitalism.

    And while that one is sort of related to the topic, not really. It’s because the price fixing is automated by a computer program a bunch of landlords used.

    In the future if you only give one link and some kind of explanation other than “like this?” The person you replied to can probably do a better job of helping you understand.

      This is like saying that Texas doesn’t regulate abortion because it’s just private citizens filing lawsuits. That is bullshit.

      Without the regulations, there would be no legal basis for filing a lawsuit.
