Voters in the U.S. aren't going to care what Apple's fine turns out to be in the EU. They thought Trump might produce a better economy with lower prices and more job opportunities but that's not turning out to be the case. It's just the usual "austerity for thee but not for me" nonsense of the billionaire class. 

Lol. It's been two whole months. this stuff takes a while and is on the right track. But it looks like the abusive governments are forced to take a breather from attacking successful American companies. that's only a good thing. 

That's the point though: voters are already disgruntled about the direction of the economy in a very short period of time. Trump had to pull his nominee for the UN because of concerns about losing that seat in the House of Representatives. Trump didn't campaign on the "no pain, no gain" stuff that the GOP is trying to sell now. People have enough financial/economic pain already.

Robert Altman's 'The Player' was likely part of the inspiration for this show. 

Obvious issue: if comments on the internet are considered “3rd party” then that makes guests that appear on news broadcasts “3rd party” as well. How would that be reconciled with the idea that the platform can’t pick/choose which views that it allows?

Elon can't even get the books right at his own company.
