alt Hacker NewsThe current administration was basically "corporations, do whatever you want as long as it doesn't interfere with our money making".
A lot of people felt, and there seems to be mounting proof, that the administration wasn't going to enforce a lot of laws, especially since their stance was to cut the agencies in charge of that (SEC, FTC, FCC, EPA, FDA, IRS, etc).
So a lot of companies assumed that that was not going to change in the future, aka. that the Trump administration is final and democracy is finished in the USA; do I understand this correctly?
