Biden cooperated with returning the material while Trump fought tooth-and-nail to hide them.
More precisely, Biden voluntarily returned documents without being asked, when he realised they were in his possession. Trump refused to hand over documents after being repeatedly asked to, and had people moving them around his property to try to avoid detection by federal agents sent to retrieve them.

Musk has always been an absolutist with regards to anything he himself wants to do. Rules are for other, lesser, people.
Heresy. Thou shalt not question the "pedo guy" guy.

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
Each state can change their elections for the House of Representatives to something better, like ranked choice single transferable vote in multi-seat constituencies. Changing presidential elections would require constitutional change, but the main problem with American politics appears not to be the presidency, but that the house is completely dysfunctional, refusing to hold the presidency to account in some cases, being unable to pass budgets, parties taking absurd positions because they are the opposite of the position already claimed by the only opposition, etc.

Good grief, our species is garbage. The EU only more so
In most EU countries, there is an expectation of honesty in business dealings. Yes, there are always shady characters, but America seems to have an ingrained business culture of trying to fuck everyone else over. I'm not certain why that leads you to the conclusion that it is the EU that is garbage in comparison.

This is a commentary about what happens when you let any-fucking-one that wants to attend in.
It did say they admit fewer than 30% of applicants. I don't care what your applicant pool is, if people in the 70th percentile and above can't halve a fucking number, you're in trouble.

Yet in the context of Palintir, since it is 'evil,' everybody will adopt the opposite opinion immediately and presume that offering workers a job directly out of highschool is abusive.
To be honest, I would say Palantirs policy, while possibly working out well for those 22 students, is irrelevant to the other 99.9994% of students graduating this year.

How does a machine following a program, no matter how complex that program might be, become conscious?
The quest for AI is just Satanists trying to become God by creating life. There's no science or understanding behind it.
There you have it folks! All the science you need to know: God did it.
