And the Chamber of Commerce has already sued the FTC to block the ban and ofc they picked Texas as the state in which to file their lawsuit.

Fantastic. Should've never been allowed in the first place. What the FTC did also recently with the internet "nutrition" labels was great

This is great, but why the fuck are there only 5 members in the FTC?

No, this is just great.

God damn people here can't say anything unless it's negative.

It's a good thing. Just let it be good. This is also specifically reserved for that. Everyone can go find something to complain about somewhere else.

The committee that heads it and sets policy has 5 members. It has hundreds of employees. This is comparable to other key commissions like the Federal Election Commission.
