If they're advertising a price lock and not delivering a price lock how are they not being hit with the long arm of a government agency for false advertising?

The US government in a nutshell.

Why would they serve losers when they can serve better people!

It ain't rocket science... There is a club...

"Best we can do is approve another merger to allow them to grow bigger"

It is what we make of it.

Because both political parties have limited the power of said government to do so.

Because both political parties ~~have limited the power of said government to do so~~ were replaced by the ruling capitalist class decades ago in an effort to neuter any and all attempts to even mildly curtail the nearly limitless power of unchecked capital.

FTFY

Many people like to pretend it's just the Republicans, but also nearly all of the Democratic party members (save for a few members of "the Squad" and a couple of independents like Bernie Sanders) are either members of that same ruling class (Nancy Pelosi for example - has a net worth of $120,000,000) or act on said ruling class's interests nearly exclusively (except on wedge issues that largely have no direct financial impact on capital like abortion rights, gun legislation, etc.).

This is what the non-sarcastic versions of "both sides" commenters mean when they say as such... Not that both parties are "completely equivalent in all policy regards," but that an overwhelming majority of the representatives of the U.S.'s 2 main political parties are effectively slightly different shades of the same branch grown by the oligarchs who basically get to run our country.

Pretty sure some of the squad voted to stop the rail union from striking.

We deserve better representation, and we get that through state level electoral reform. We need to take the First Past the Post handcuffs off and start working on our many problems.

…Like I said… “a few members of the Squad…” not “the Squad.”

And most of the time they do the best they can rather than actively try to make things worse like so many others clearly do.

Replaced by the ruling capitalistic class decades ago? When exactly have we ever not been ruled over by these people?

[–] JDPoZ@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Well there was a very short couple of periods where it’s wasn’t perfect but better in at least some respects - one when Lincoln was president, and the other when FDR was in office and when the Warren Supreme Court was in session.

Things like the Rural Electricification Act and the right to an attorney even when you couldn’t afford one were passed during those brief windows of time…

Sure there were Japanese internment camps and black people were even worse let treated than they are now, but things were finally on track to be improving for non-rich moreso then than almost any other time in history at the time.

…But in general, yeah it’s always been the rich fucking us all over and they’ve never let up and never will.

Because they do not care about you

Yeah, they've been using them in the T-Mobile ads.

As someone who considered Suits somewhat of a guilty pleasure, that ad is absolute mirthless garbage lol. The top comment on the video is spot on.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

I didn't even know what Suits was, somebody had to tell me.

They look so old, it's like seeing someone you haven't seen since high school and they just look old and run down.

[–] Rexios@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

Asked? How about the government tells them with a big fine.
