re: #145 MandyManners

But the FTC said Friday that it’s not pushing for a new tax or any other news-related policy change. It’s merely trying to decide if — not when or how — it should ever take regulatory action as part of its mission to protect consumers and competition.

What does that mean?

What it means is they’ll force the tax through when they think they’ve got the power to do it. That’s the pattern with these things that “no one is talking about”; what it means is they will do it at the first opportunity.
