The Biden-Harris FTC is on a roll.

It's suing corporations for abusing their power.

It banned noncompetes.

Now it's investigating "surveillance pricing" tactics where companies use personal data to set different prices for everyone.

If you’ve tuned into any major TV network in the last few months, you may have seen an ad promising a brand new way to end plastic pollution: advanced recycling.

So far, America’s Plastic Makers has spent nearly $30 million since 2023 to place ads touting “advanced recycling” and other sustainability measures.

These ads are not trying to sell products. They’re trying to sell consumers a utopian idea: that plastic consumption can continue as is, without irreparably damaging public health and the planet.

This piece simply says what many are thinking out loud. Politicians are allowing entire towns to burn to the ground for the sake of the oil industry.

All our lives are expendable. They must be stopped.
