The judge…
The temporary nationwide injunction imposed by Judge Mark Pittman in the Northern District of Texas is a win for the big banks and major credit card companies, which collect billions in revenue each year in late fees and were looking to stop the proposal from going into effect.
“How could you even think of starving these poor, little corporations the very necessary income those late fees bring. Think of the poor CEOs not able to even afford a second yacht.”
We really can’t have anything nice in this country, can we?
Vote for someone who wants change.
Unfortunately, a lot of people complain about lack of change and then neglect to vote for people who want change.
People who want no change are much better at voting on election day, which adds up to no change.
Aaaaand yes, this judge was another Trump appointee.
He appointed a record 54 Appeals court judges and 174 District court judges in one term, as well as nominating 3/9 of the Supreme Court. He works hard and fast for himself under the noise screen of the news.
He should make rental application fees illegal.
You know it’s weird, it seems like I can predict the way the judge votes, and likely which half of the US they live in, solely by the headline of “federal judge blocks Biden administration plan to…” with 100% accuracy.
Haven’t been wrong yet.
Seems almost like there’s some sort of political motivation here, not what’s best for the people.
Almost seems like the system is working… against the people?
But no that couldn’t be. Surely a judge, who sits at a federal level, would never be swayed by something so petty as kindergarten politics.
If you read the reactions from banks, it’s sickening. They are threatening to raise fees elsewhere, or interest rates, to “make up for lost revenue” because heaven forbid they just make less money and be okay with it.
These companies make obscene amounts of money.
They don’t need that much money.
It’s sickening.
