The president just prior to Trump pardoned his own son for crimes, and pre-emptively pardoned various other family members and political allies for any possible crimes before they could be prosecuted. Again, this is not new, this is ongoing

That's an incredibly naive take on economics and competition, because it ignores all of the forces that entrench existing participants and make new entrants basically impossible in many cases. You're coming off like a student of E

This is not "good guys versus bad guys", the democratic party are not going to wash all this badness away. They have been guilty of basically the same things, even if at a lesser scale. Biden tried to appropriate billions outside

Don't kid yourself, US political corruption pre-dates Trump. This is just bringing it to a new level.

It's incredible that American corruption can happen out in the open like this. And this isn't a uniquely Trump phenomena. Political pardons are an amazing thing, and they have been used by presidents for a long time now with extre

Agreed, I'm totally convinced this is a weird media hysteria. This just cannot be true, it makes zero sense from the most basic level.

I don't think anyone seriously believes it's an end-to-end neural network. The person who said that has somewhat of a credibility problem.

Trump himself is not involved in every decision of every government department.

No, it isn't. People are interested in whether a stock has volatility, and whether it has moved x%. If a $10 stock loses $1 it should show a roughly matching pattern to a $200 stock losing $20. Intersecting at zero will show a very lar
