 @3e3ce96c SHE DID IT? 

I would have been like NOPE. I will wait. I am not endangering my credit card number because of your computer problem. 
 @ccb4768b fair, but also, with both Caesars and MGM borked, you're looking at an off-strip motel if you want a last-minute Vegas room.

Can you imagine the exec's faces when they realized they checked Lina Khan in through this process, though? 
 @3e3ce96c  I hope their faces hadn't unfrozen from when they realized they got sished or whatever you call social engineered hacking 

Maybe this will make the FTC mad enough that they'll put some teeth in their oversight 
 @ccb4768b Khan's been taking some pretty good steps during her tenure - personal consent decrees for CEOs, among other things.

I have mad respect for her but also she merits several slides in one of my recent internal training sessions. 
 @3e3ce96c  Unfortunately she inherited an agency that's been dozing for the last several years. So much garbage happening. 
 @ccb4768b yep, FTC definitely needs even bigger teeth. Biden gave Khan a pretty clear consumer info protection mandate though, and she's been usin' it.

I'm always in favor of bigger regulatory teeth, though. ;) 
 @3e3ce96c  Here here. Elizabeth Warren style. 
 @ccb4768b Helllllll yes. Warren's one of my favorite people, and I'm so glad she represents my state.
