when mayor michael bloomberg suggested a law limiting the size of jumbo sodas, golden restaurant, ah, bloomberg was marked as a scolding nanny and the courts ruled in the industry's favor. ah. in this face off between corporate freedom and consumer protection, freedom once again seemed to be the private property of the most powerful. i represent a part of san francisco, that was immigrant. people, people who speak english as a 2nd language. people who live in subsidized housing, public housing in tenements. and the one thing that we all had in common was that we were dying from preventable diseases dying. and you know, that was just really hard to accept. and it seemed like people didn't care. the industry didn't care, they continued to target their money and resources to get people addict it so that they become wealthier. the. so what brings me to this entire conversation is that i don't want people to die. and if it means changing policies, changing, educating people. so that they're aware of the choices that they have and bringing more choices to people. then that's what i'm about.

i know you're shocked and you can ask michael bloomberg, why they contributed a $160000000.00. insist ma the trade organization for financial firms like robin hood contributed 15000000, so they've always been politically active in this area. so how much power does the fcc happier? even if it doesn't move to ban, as you just mentioned, there is no appetite to do so. are there other ways of looking at moving to limit companies like, like a robin hood or, or td ameritrade that focuses on retail banking or retail trading? absolutely, and i think the easiest way to do it is through finra. so robin hood is not only registered with the securities and exchange commission, they're also a sin, remember, broker dealer, the fcc has complete authority over finra. so i think the c c puts pressure on finra to look at rob and her to look at their practices, to start examining them, and to put pressure on them to change the way that they do business. and more importantly, to change the relationships they have with both their retail and institutional customers. now, when it comes to those lawsuits that

it's great that michael bloomberg is on the right side of this issue, $750 million is a lot of moneyeshing to see michael bloomberg spend his money on something other than gun grabs and failed presidential campaigns the didn't earn a single delegate. very good news. i also applaud him for recognizing charter schools are one of many alternatives parents ought to be able to make for their children. this is a time we've seen the failure of government schools, teachers didn't want to teach or go back because of covid so you found the teachers union fighting not to get schools open but to keep them closed. which is counterintuitive for what teachers ought to be about. it is nice to see this push by bloomberg on charter schools. we also see on vouchers, some real options and alternatives for parents particularly parents of children who live in poverty. dave: the middle class and the wealthy have alternatives for folks don't have. $750 million is a lot of money but $200 billion is how much all these covid bills have given k-12 public education. a lot of that goes to the teachers union. they
