After years of the Trump administration steadily rolling back federal consumer financial protections, California has decided enough is enough. Columnist Davidlaz on the soon-to-be-unveiled California Consumer Financial Protection Law:
After years of the Trump administration steadily rolling back federal consumer financial protections, California has decided enough is enough.
According to materials shared with me by the governor’s office, the proposed California Consumer Financial Protection Law would overhaul the existing Department of Business Oversight and rename it the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, or DFPI.website The governor’s office told me this would include “dozens of new staff,” greater scrutiny of consumer markets “to identify patterns of abuse,” and increased outreach to people frequently targeted for questionable financial practices, such as veterans and immigrants.
The reality is there’s a long history of states stepping up when federal authorities shirk their responsibility. The legalizing of marijuana is one such example.

CEO Unveils Bold New Plan To Undo Damage From Last Year’s Bold New PlanNEW YORK—Saying it would mark a significant change in the company’s direction, Paradigm Marketing CEO Paul Dannon announced Monday a bold new plan that was evidently intended to undo the havoc caused by last year’s bold new plan. “It’s time to make some major shifts in how we do things [in reaction to the disastrous major shifts I implemented last year],” said Dannon of the sweeping new initiative that amounted to a point-by-point retraction of his sweeping initiative from almost exactly one year ago. “We’re all going to have to accept some changes [to salvage the resources wasted due to my last disastrous strategic move], but I’m confident this is going to be an important step [backward] for the company. And, who knows, maybe we’ll even have [no] fun [whatsoever] in the process.” At press time, Dannon was laying off several employees whose salaries amounted to the bonus he had received last year.
