They've got a bunch of folding chairs and tables, telecomm equipment, and no company name. Found them using our guest Wifi to access a bunch of scam sites and banks in other countries.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is not the same organization as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Andrew Ferguson, chair of the FTC, was originally appointed to the Commission by Biden in 2023 and was made chair by Trump this year. He's definitely softer on big corporate monopolies and mergers than his predecessor, but has not been quite as much a blowhard as one would normally expect from Trump's picks.

Lol honestly I had to search it to make sure they were actually distinct, especially since the venn diagram between them definitely has a large shared space in regards to regulating tech companies

We all make mistakes, at least you can admit you're wrong. Also, don't call yourself an idiot. You're not.
