    prosecuting even the most overtly illegal crimes

    A few days ago - by chance I found a 2009 article in my bookmarks about the economic crisis that nearly caused a Great Depression 2.0. I almost started laughing. As bad as the “regulations” were - at least there was some enforcement of them and of the law. When it comes to Trump’s second administration - I assume it’s the Wild West. All large businesses and all large sectors of the economic are awash in crime and grifting. And it’s eerie to me how the media seems oblivious to this. How can there be no MSM articles about this?

    For example - I won’t be surprised if one day news breaks that the US’s largest case of food poisoning has been discovered. Dozens and dozens are dead and hundreds ill. It should be one of the biggest scandals in American history. But the CEO is a big Trump donor who regularly gushes on social media how great Trump is. On a federal level there are sham investigations and - of course - no prosecutions of any execs never mind the CEO. The rightwing says people died of woke.

    God only knows what kinds of toxic malfeasance Wall Street has been up to since Trump’s election win.

    the AI bubble bursting

    Again - where is the MSM?

    crypto hype to go ballistic

    I assume the criming and grifting is already beyond belief. I wonder which crash will be worse - the AI bubble or crypto. And I wonder which bailout will be larger.
