Welcome to This Day in History for March 21! Today, we take a moment to reflect on the significant events that have shaped our world. One of the most notable events on March 21 occurred in 1960, when the Sharpeville Massacre took place in South Africa. This tragic event was pivotal in the fight against apartheid, which institutionalized racial segregation in the country.

I think the Biden FCC under the leadership of Jessica Rosenworcel engaged in a lot of regulatory theater that made for good press clippings, but was ultimately hollow.
