    I can’t help you if you reject evidence.

    We have one government and we can’t gather data on how it responds to different stimuli… unless, that is, you look at the thousands of workplaces we have with similar power dynamics (and general sociology studies) where people set social contracts by observing seniority and leadership.

    If you want a discussion of how social norms emerge in most settings, see Section 4 in

    https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-economics-080614-115322

    But if you work in an office this should be pretty self-evident.

      What evidence? You haven’t provided any. You need to substantiate this claim:

      as the speaker she greatly normalized the corruption and made incredible money at the cost of her constituents.

      with some directly relevant corroborating information.

          That link is an academic paper about social norms in general. It has nothing to do with Nancy Pelosi or insider trading or government corruption, which is why I said:

          directly relevant corroborating information

          You are drawing inferences based on assumptions. You haven’t provided anything that constitutes evidence.

            As I said in my comment above. We have one US Government, we cannot run experiments on it. I don’t know if you’ve ever worked in statistics or even just taken uni level statistics, but your desired level of proof is simply ridiculous and unattainable.

            Here, I have given you a mountain of data that paints a pretty clear picture but no, I can’t “prove” it was Pelosi - just like you can’t prove it wasn’t ancient aliens.

            I really do hope you’re trolling because this beyond silly.
