So, years ago, when I was being taken to court over a debt that didn't belong to me, the #ConsumerProtectionAgency gave me enough information to be my own lawyer and have the case thrown out (the debt in question was under someone else's social security number, and I demanded to see the loan paperwork, which proved the loan wasn't mine. #CPA provides advice and help to ordinary citizens (not #megarich #techbros and orange #grifters)!

The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.

Whatever #JeremyHunt says, #traders know the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. And they’re paid millions to bet on it'

Liz #Truss can't be allowed to wreck our economy AGAIN. Tell the #Chancellor, #JeremyHunt there must be no tax cuts for the #megaRich in next week's #budget? Sign the #petition
Interesting how the stunningly obvious doesn’t register with the supposedly brilliant #technogarchs. That might however require compassion or even worse the payment of taxes
I’m reminded of @rcbregman who stated the very obvious back in 2019 at the #garch festival in #Davos. Always a pleasure to watch this.
Less #philanthropy and more #taxes for the #MegaRich!
