    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.
