Using the mighty power of government to…make stadium hot dogs cheaper? It's one of many ways Khan's petty populism could be coming to New York City.

Khan, who spearheaded some of the Biden administration's worst efforts to disrupt free markets with heavy-handed government intervention, repeatedly tested the limits of FTC power, and attempted to do through an executive agency things that should have been left to Congress.

Loooooool. Democrats finally have someone willing to turn just a little bit of the Republicans' own tactics against them, and they're already whining about it. If Congress (state or federal) doesn't like they laws she's abusing, they can get off their asses and fucking DO something about it. See how well it goes over with New Yorkers when they lower prices for shit, and enforce consumer rights, and Congress tries to pass laws to undo it.

I agree with you on political principle here. I support limited government. The Republican party pretends to support limited government.

Even here, best believe they won't do much of anything to actually stop Lina Khan, although they might complain about her.
