Thank you, President Biden, for working for The People, and nominating and appointing competent people like Lina Khan to do the same! We miss you and your admin.
👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻💙🇺🇸💙

We are all boycotting ARBNB because they support the traitor-n-thief, Right?

Is there any place to stay that doesn’t support him?? I’d love to know.

pattidezgn4u.bsky.social•3 days ago

Good news!

You-Know-Who will be reversing that as soon as someone tells him about it.

We’ve had this in Europe for at least a decade now - it’s good that the US is catching up. The extra tax of the sales needs to go too, the customer has to be able to chose based on the final price including fees and taxes!

Until trump reverses it

Wait 5 minutes. Some orange lunatic will do something stupid

vincenzodon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump will have this repealed.

lkbond.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes he will. 😡

Love then both sooooo much!!!!

mikedolam.bsky.social•3 days ago

Now they tell you they’re taxing you 25% for the right to buy tickets from them.

pensive-tm.bsky.social•3 days ago

They can still charge them, they just have to disclose them now.

They will just give Trump a million to change it back.

A way to help make entertainment and hotel stays more affordable❤️

Khan my hero. First FTC head in 40 years to go after Reaganism monopolized U.S.! I once enjoyed talking with another Kahn, Alfred Kahn, "inflation czar" for Carter
the real "Great Deregulator" (not Reagan), busting up the monopolized Airlines cartel and gave us low-priced flights and competition!

I quit using Airbnb several years ago because it was so hard to compare prices. I now stay in hotels.

tygator.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump will veto this

dannfox.bsky.social•3 days ago

Shh! Now they know about it and will write an EO rescinding it.

insertusername001.bsky.social•3 days ago

Don't tell trump

calvinonthebeach.bsky.social•3 days ago

How long before Trump reverses i

Does this apply in other jurisdictions too - e.g. UK?

amethyst-tiefling.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lina Khan was one of the best things about the Biden administration, and I feel the administration / Harris campaign went out of their way to not talk about Khan’s amazing work.

Horror show.

Yeah, it kinda seems that way now that you mention it, A T.

For now😒

martinmier.bsky.social•2 days ago

And I'm sorry if that was a little too mean. It's not my intention to put anyone down

martinmier.bsky.social•2 days ago

I fear if you're not that funny, it's because you're a little depressed Mr. Reich.

But you can't drop everything right now and start doing Lewis Black impressions ("impersonating Lewis Black"? 'Lewis Black'?)

youvotedforthis2.bsky.social•3 days ago

Let's guess how long it will take for Trump to reverse that law.

enragedapostate.bsky.social•3 days ago

Be sure that this Biden FTC thing will be ended/overturned by the Unified Reich regime, and probably before the next blink of your eyes

pegbush.bsky.social•3 days ago

next airlines who say "pick your seat" then charge $26 to do so. And baggage charges, add them in at the time the ticket is purchased.

huckdillinger.bsky.social•3 days ago

The orange idiot hasn’t rolled this law back yet? He will.

This will be promptly overturned by Trump‘s fascist government.

The last time I rented for 1 night’s lodging through Air B&B, it was advertised as $80/night. Total invoice was $140! Grr! I’m glad they must change this practice!
