A new Biden effort at consumer protections

This looks great, but whether it can survive opposition, especially from right-wing federal "judges," is another matter. Well worth pushing hard for, in any case.

The Biden administration has launched a sweeping consumer protection campaign titled “Time Is Money,” targeting corporate practices that exploit consumers through deliberately poor customer service, hard-to-cancel services, and other manipulative tactics. This initiative is part of a broader effort by the administration to hold corporations accountable and protect consumers from unfair business practices.

The “Time Is Money” initiative is the latest in a series of consumer protection efforts under President Joe Biden’s administration. The White House has made it clear that improving customer experience and protecting consumers from corporate exploitation are key priorities. This campaign builds on previous initiatives, including a 2021 executive order aimed at streamlining federal services and recent efforts to crack down on junk fees.

Neera Tanden, the White House domestic policy adviser, emphasized the administration’s commitment to these issues, stating, “The administration is cracking down on all the ways that companies—through paperwork, hold times, and general aggravation—waste people’s money, waste people’s time.” - Nation of Change
