The FTC is pro-trust not antitrust.
Appointing Lina Khan to head the FTC is one of the only good things Biden has done while in office.
However, the FTC has been defanged and neutered by the courts and Congress. To say nothing of the full court press the media, especially mainstream business publications, have engaged in to attack her and limit her influence and reduce her political capital.
So unlike most of Biden's top level appointments, I actually don't doubt her intentions, or her goals, but I also don't hold out much hope as to what she'll be able to accomplish, though not for any lack of effort on her part.
