Great piece by @ddayen calling attention to the lobbying by firms that extract fees from socially useless products to game the FDIC's deposit insurance limit. They want to ensure that limit stays intact.
At stake is more than their rents. Removing the deposit limit dissolves the pretense that banks are private firms bearing their own risk, and invites more fundamental banking reform. https://prospect.org/power/2023-04-25-intrafi-deposit-insurance-caps-lobbying/ ht #JoeWeisenthal 1/

deceptive pricing as free speech: “The line of argument will be that mandating the display of all-in pricing information amounts to compelled speech by the government forced on private enterprise, violating the First Amendment.” #LukeGoldstein https://prospect.org/politics/2024-12-19-modest-ftc-junk-fee-rule-bipartisan-support/ ht @[email protected]

“The [crypto] industry mobilized this year, forming a network of independent expenditures under the umbrella of Fairshake to weaponize a broken campaign finance system to their advantage. Fairshake has become the single largest outside spender in this year’s elections thus far, with $120 million in cash on hand, even greater than the notoriously well-armed American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).” #LukeGoldstein @ddayen https://prospect.org/power/2024-08-15-democrats-complete-big-crypto-reset/

"High-powered lobbyists like Tony Podesta and others came up with a new playbook to brush back regulatory oversight by paying outside researchers to launder industry talking points through the guise of neutral 'expertise.'" #LukeGoldstein https://prospect.org/justice/2024-08-09-will-googles-monopoly-be-vanquished/

There’s a genre of public affairs writing I call “Taking out the trash.” It becomes necessary when prominent, respected people say, as they very often do, tendentious and ill-considered stuff. Suddenly there’s garbage that might rot in the ears of people in power. A taking-out-the-trash piece debunks it.
It’s thankless work. Countering bullshit-in-a-fancy-suit is no one's idea of a good time. But it’s God’s work.

“Self interest is the biggest impulse in politics. Never, ever doubt that. The second biggest is building an intellectual superstructure that justifies your self interest as truly being in the national interest. That's what's happening in much of Silicon Valley.” #KevinDrum https://jabberwocking.com/why-has-silicon-valley-turned-against-democrats/

regulation has it costs, but if you go by journalism, which disproportionately presents extreme cases, you'll overstate them. regulation has profound benefits too. that there's lots of room for improvement doesn't render the regulatory state a catastrophe. see #KevinDrum https://jabberwocking.com/yeah-america-can-still-build-stuff/

“the governor must fill any vacancies on the state’s top courts with appointees recommended by the political party of the departing judge. That will prevent Stein from appointing Democrats to fill future openings on the state Supreme Court, where Republicans hold a majority.”
They’re just not even pretending anymore. Except when Democrats threaten to do anything similar. Then it’s Radicals Destroying The Constitutional Order.

“Oh great. It's no longer possible to download the Barnes & Noble Nook app, which means there's no way to install it on my new tablet. This in turn means that the ~100 books I have on Nook are now gone. Pffft. I will never be able to read them again.
Three cheers for the intersection of modern technology and crappy corporations.” #KevinDrum https://jabberwocking.com/no-more-nook/
