How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Seems to me that the ultimate purpose of AI & data-gathering orgs like Palantir is so the 2% super rich who already have half the worlds wealth can seize the other half shared amongst the other 98%. The need to be super wealthy is a mental illness and should be treated accordingly, not pandered to.
