Let's not pretend that the US' lax consumer protection laws have anything to do with Trump. The political elites have been helping the wealthy and corporations hinder those long before that dumbass ever ran for office.

I don't know, I am going to have to call BS on the idea that Kamala Harris would have dismantled the consumer protection bureau. On the other hand the Republicans have been trying to hamper it for awhile.

I agree that ultimately corporations are going to call the shots and they wanted it gone.
