The FTC is (not) Bullshit

from Business is Bullshit · host Jon Tsourakis, James Hornick and Jared Gibson

The FTC: fearless consumer protector or just a pain in the ass for businesses trying to grow?  In this episode of Business is Bullshit, we're diving into business regulations and what FTC has been up to—and why it's stirring up so much drama. We're talking about the "Click to Cancel" rule (finally, a way to escape that gym membership), the big fight over non-compete clauses, and the sneaky world of regulatory capture—where the regulators might be a little too friendly with the people they're supposed to regulate.  Oh, and we're speculating about what's next for Lina Khan.

If you've ever been trapped in a subscription you didn't want, wondered how these rules affect your business, or just enjoy calling out corporate BS, this episode's for you.    Subscribe to The Business Is Bullsh*t podcast here: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/business-is-b-t/id1769653675 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Xv7C9WFxZHeoARrm8EDc5?si=0904ef82bd204150&nd=1&dlsi=344a35219c164fed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusinessIsBullsht
