Part 6/9:
Despite politicians’ tendency to gloss over critical issues or achievements, some noteworthy victories for workers and consumers have taken place in recent years. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has made significant strides, imposing regulations that protect workers, ensure competitive pricing, and curb monopolistic behavior. These changes have the potential to enhance household incomes and offer more equitable market conditions.
Unfortunately, these accomplishments have received limited attention in political arenas, largely due to the sensitivity of benefitting billionaires and major donors. This oversight leaves citizens oblivious to the positive impacts that have emerged from stricter regulations, diluting the narrative that the economy is improving for everyone.
