Fair enough - There is a big difference between proposing policy to restrict arguably usury rates versus cancelling student loan debt and price caps for grocery stores.
I'm not sure what to tell you if you can't see the large difference.

Anyone want to take a crack at telling us the “right” level of profit a credit card company should earn?
There is no problem with Trump cognitively. There have never even been signs.
Trump says a lot of dumb things because he is a buffoon. But he hasn't displayed any sort of signs of mental incognizance.

So your an Obama Democrat? Was John Kerry your guy? Maybe Al Gore. No. You strike me as a Clinton guy. Bill Clinton that is

I’ve yet to discern any logical worldview coming from MAGA that determines what’s a good idea from Trump vs a bad idea. Maybe you have one.

Well math, trees, and punctuality were all racist 2-3 years ago. Its going around like the flu.
I'd argue that there profit margins would be minimally impacted, maybe even increased, with reducing max interest rates.
Most of your ilk does label everything Socialism/Communism so you can't put the blame all on us. Look at sturg for example.
The fact that you're okay with a 40 hour work week, which is much more invasive that cracking down on credit card interest, shows you're not that consistent.
Yup - And that is the argument that has no defense so it will be avoided.

Good to see MAGA going to bat for price controls.
Abortion, price controls, state funded Healthcare, you name it.
They are so much closer to Kamala than I ever imagined. They should be happy with either outcome
By the way, the 40 hour work week is dumb. If an adult wants to work 80 hours, who are you to tell them they cannot

You want to say that about 2016 that's fine. I meant he wasn't very bright to begin with. Neither was Joe Biden. If you think he isn't in serious cognitive decline right now you aren't paying attention. Just the other day he was talking about how hot a woman was. It wasn't a man. He brags about passing a dementia test and insists it's an IQ test which few could pass. He can barely talk anymore. His sentences are shorter. His energy is way down from 2016.
Stock Market regulations are stupid too right? Why should the SEC exist?
How about guardrails against toxic chemical dumping?
Whats your limit?

Then they’re free to do it on their own.
I think they know their finances better than me so they have obviously made the calculation it is not or maybe, just maybe, since most banks charge about the same amounts its most likely some form of de facto collusion.

My limit is when the actions of someone negatively impacts an innocent 3rd party.
Fraud in the market has victims. Poisoning the environment has victims
Person taking a 20% credit loan creates no victim other than that person, which was voluntary
It's rather amazing to see how far left you've run over the last 2 years. You can say you always have been this way but that is not true. You used to slam socialist policies at every turn.
This is the threat of Trump, only he can move our country so far left so fast because his cult will go with literally everything he says with zero push back.
You and garmel were slamming price controls a month ago. Now you're going to bat for them. The only difference is who called for them
What is the impact to the economy when people become impovershed by effectively usury rates?
Does that increase crime levels?
Does it increase children being grown up in bad situtations?
Does it increase calls for more welfare?
