I would love to see a Harris administration expand the FTC, or at least give them proper funding.

That's great! I just hope they have the manpower and funding to make it stick.

I don't think it would be about the workforce but the fines. Most major corporations seem to try to avoid anything with stiff fines. They will straight up remove reviews rather than cut into the bottom dollar if the minimum fines are high enough.

I forsee a max fine count of like 5 after 5 years.
