Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

babe wake up, antitrust law was confirmed not dead
(I will say this one surprised me)
How likely would this be?
I heard that one of Bidens good things is to put actually effect people on antitrust laws. Sadly I also heard that Harris is planning on putting somebody else on there.
A lot of what Biden did was based on the wide margins the executive had. But now with Chevron deference dead people can sue those efforts and will win via the 5th Circuit or SCOTUS, because they're institutions bought by people who most vehemently hate antitrust laws. Similar reasoning applies to right-to-repair efforts.
In other words, USA will never have nice things unless Harris pulls off a major court reform.
Thanks! Indeed, I keep forgetting Chevron. Not sure how far this replacement is related however, but there should be a different priority indeed. Hope she pulls it off, people seem happy with Waltz at least. He also seems like a mostly decent person. Worst I saw people go was compare him to Boss Hogg, which is quite the dated reference.
I guess the people making the "Boss Hogg" references were very very old liberals/hippies, because man that reference is dated, and his political opponents won't try to give him an epithet they'd consider positive.
Aside, this is funny https://xcancel.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1820873722653503602
Seems that Vance is openly campaigning for Harris now.
