Oh man, don’t stop

You got it! Here's some other consumer protections the administration has introduced recently:

Direct filing with the IRS
Price limits on asthma inhalers and insulin for seniors
Requiring ISPs to provide consistent up-front information and pricing
Restrictions on college junk fees and disallowing witholding of transcripts

Hungry for more? Check this out:

White House Statement on Junk Fees

That's from October, so some of it overlaps, but among other stuff there's still a "Click to Cancel" rule working its way through the FTC.

Sadly Biden has been spending a bunch of time on lame crap like climate change, human rights, health care, infrastructure, election integrity, etc., so it might take a bit longer for him to single-handedly usher in consumer utopia.

Great. That covers what, 1 month of his administration? Keep going, unless you’re cherrypicking this incredibly active recent two weeks. This list should be enormous.
