I disagree completely. I think any proposal to vastly increase the power of the executive branch has to be evaluated with an understanding that roughly half the time that branch will be led by someone who doesn't remotely share your policy goals. People on both sides tend to be oblivious to that. Right now the GOP is trying really hard to increase the power of the executive without thinking what President AOC might do with that power some day (or if not her, someone similar). Democrats with such proposals would do well to imagine what a President Vance or President Don Jr* might use it for.
*I threw up in my mouth a little just typing that

Remember ‘she has a plan for everything’?
Zoom out just a bit. What’s the practical difference between saying ‘she has a plan for everything’ and ‘there’s nothing she doesn’t want to control’?
I would argue they are simple Russell conjugates.

She annoys me.

Ok, not a silly argument, sorry. But we cannot abolish attempts at regulating corporations just because the system could be abused by bad actors. Everything in the law can, and is, abused by despotic types.
Kudos to Elizabeth Warren for at least trying to come up with a solution.
Maybe a joint federal-state sort of program would work better.

Jon, what’s your take in the CFPB?
(God rest it’s soul.)
