Every time we elect a Republican president we have to start rolling the ball all the way back up the hill again. Every goddamn time.

Good news! Apparently a lot of excitingly new young progressives are mad we haven’t rolled it back up high enough and are refusing to help!
Wait. Okay, not good news. Sorry.
Because they're not rolling it up fast enough! Can't you see? They just have to roll it faster and preferably all the way and then I'll get excited and help. Yup. Until then I'll be adding ankle weights to you too. And don't forget it's all your fault too.

Kudos to the paper for adding "trump appointed" in the headline - it's relevant and too often the context is left out.
And I'm sure certain people will find a way to blame Biden for not doing enough
If they could read they would be so angry!
Lets check this persons bank account and see what the credit card companies gave them.

Yeh, but the late fees are good for people. Free market and free market. Drain the swamp etc. Just pay your debt on time. Or something, both side the same, yada yada.
A great example of the current presidency trying to do something good for a lot of people.
It's funny that the literal industry posterboy for not paying debts on time his entire career is now leading that crowd of "just pay your debts" 😂 He still isn't doing it himself, even with other people putting up the money to pay his debts for him
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Oh. those people.
In case anybody doesn't already know this, the Chamber of Commerce is a non-governmental organization of private (and also publicly traded) business owners that just sounds like it's part of the government.
This ruling is a major win for responsible consumers who pay their credit card bills on time and businesses that want to provide affordable credit,” U.S. Chamber of Commerce Litigation Center Counsel Maria Monaghan said in a statement.
It's the same rationale they used when they tried to stop student loan forgiveness. But they accuse the left of having the mentality of crabs in a bucket.

"This is a win for people who want to feel superior to other people."
The m9st fucked up thing of all is that he first tried to not make a ruling at all, stating that it should be ruled at Washington DC because there weren't a ton of banks out of Texas. But they kicked it back to him and forced him to make a ruling on it.
He kind of tried to be responsible/sensible.
He kind of tried to be responsible/sensible
No, he tried to make someone else the bad guy, and ended up caving in as well.
