    It's almost like they baited him into this. They know what kind of man-child he is, and they know they'll win the lawsuit.

    Let’s hope democracy and the companies we like survive this most petty and broken man serving as POTUS.

      They will. Just keep grinding, this will be over eventually.

        I’m trying to focus on other things and waiting for this to all be over.

      I encourage you to reflect on what this actually means. The "companies we like" have already shown their true colors. All they can do now is pretend it won't happen again.

      There's no reality where you wake up to find Tesla or Apple are their idyllic versions of themselves. Even a complete political upheaval cannot create an environment that prevents crony capitalism; Tesla and Apple need federal support to compete. They will bend over backwards embarrassing themselves to secure it, and in a truly capitalist economy they should be punished for failing to compete naturally.

      If you believe in fair competition, no company deserves to die more than the ones reliant on anticompetitive federal support. Kissing ass in an administration this corrupt represents the apex of America's meritocracy issue. I'm hoping the FTC breaks them all up, anything less will set the precedent that federal corruption is rewarding and desirable. If any of them survive, we're all doomed.
