FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED

There's gotta be a Global Warming angle to this...Damn you Greta...Damn you!

If the rule does get changed it would be suicide for a quality company to start putting our false claims. Back in the “old” days there was no internet or independent resources that would call out the BS they put out. The only sources to hold the accountable were magazine reviews that could be easily bought off with kickbacks an advertising $$$. I feel that eliminating the regulation will weed out the quality honest companies from the snake oil salesmen. Just on this forum alone their false claims would be exposed and called out with proved documented independent tests.
 No need to get your panties in a bundle just because some large manufacture has bought them self a politician not the first not the last and this community we have formed will destroy them!

I've done this simple test on many occasions and it seems to upset sales people.

Anyone that lived thru the 70s can relate to this when there were no regulations. Trying to compare amplifier and receiver output was futile Ie. IHF, RMS, whatever. It was a joke. 

The reactions here are hysterical.
