n.b. I've found a lot of comfort by conciously rolling away from any subject that leads me to do "They"-ing, i.e. name an enormously large group, then talk about them as a unit. The more I avoid it, the more I realize how prevalent it became and drives how a lot of us feel society shifted.

So your position is, they'll never do it, and if they did, it's fake. Sounds like self-peasantization.

The people working at the FTC have been involved in revolving door in the very industries they're trying to break up.

It's a simple observation. They don't have the interest to make it pass but they still have to do it to save face.
