Lina Khan Appreciation Thread

[FAH1223]

With her time as FTC Chair ending, we should celebrate her tenure over these 3.5 years.

Arguably Biden’s best appointment. Thank you Elizabeth Warren as well.

She started out like a Harvard nerd writing papers about Amazon

I read about her in 2018 in the NY Times

Amazon’s Antitrust Antagonist Has a Breakthrough Idea (Published 2018)

With a single scholarly article, Lina Khan, 29, has reframed decades of monopoly law.

It was 2017-18 when I first learned of her.

Corporate America hated her guts because she was going at them with both barrels

 

[Outlaw]

If she was able to she should have went out after corporate price gougers during Covid to help tame inflation instead of focusing on big tech. The electorate doesn’t care about the wins she had unfortunately

 

[Jean toomer]

Great thread. Democrats do not articulate wins well to the general public. Lina Khan is a force for good and deserves her flowers.

 

[Loose]

I love her she's so amazing

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Democrats need better PR. They should have been shouting this from the rooftops.

 

[storyteller]

When people go full misanthrope about the system being broken, I'll have Lina Khan as an example that positive impacts can land from even just one person's appointment to the right role.

Not to worry. Lina Khan was great for workers and since folks here and elsewhere insist that the GOP is now the populist party of the working class, I'm sure Trump will keep her on board. After all, Vance & Josh Hawley like her




Oh...what's that? Trump has already appointed someone else to head the FTC?




Well I'm sure it's someone who will continue the pro-worker and anti-trust momentum that Khan initiated...I mean, even Matt Stoller said "Trump is gonna lead the antitrust revolution".








Ah! well...nevertheless.

Establishment defeated. Are we populist now?

That's because the average electorate is a low informational moron

 

[radio rahiem]

Lina is cool with me. Even with her loss with Microsoft; I knew her heart was in the right place.

 

[hashmander]

trump will give the people of america what they want: the opposite of lina khan.
