>Trump received almost the exact same number of popular votes as Romney in '12, and McCain in '08. The difference is that 10 million Obama voters stayed home for Hillary:

Your data is from very soon after the election. Once all the votes were counted, Clinton had the same vote total as Obama '12 [1]. Perhaps an argument can be made that due to population growth she'd need 1% more (or some number) to truly match Obama '12.
That said, I agree with your general message about turnout.
>The Fourth Estate has fallen into disrepair due to their close adherence to progressive extremist ideology and their objectivity is rightly attacked.
[citation needed].
The MSM needs some repair, but I'd say that repair should be moving away from the "both sides do it" and "two sides to every argument" mentality and delivering the truth. On issues like climate change, equal weight does not need to be given to the "it's a hoax" crowd.
I was hoping that the first part would have an explainer to justify the mention of the GF. Something like, "My girlfriend is not a programmer and has never taken computer science classes. The following drawing are what I used to explain ML to her."
>Also people seem to care a LOT about immigration and preserving their culture. Instead of patronising these people it's time we tried to understand their concerns and try to assuage them.
Many of the people that care so much about immigration and preserving their culture are the grandchildren of immigrants. It's very much an attitude of "I got mine, you can go F yourself".

They may want to start their own version of Uber/Lyft or they may just be setting up a scenario in the future where Uber/Lyft would have to enter into a separate purchase agreement with Tesla with changes to warranty terms, roadside assistance terms, price, insurance, etc.
>Would you be a bank CEO if it meant jail if one of your 100,000 employees was caught laundering cash or passing on insider information?
IF that was actually a risk, I might consider it, but thanks to the Holder Memo, we have "Too big to jail".
"Kareem Serageldin was an executive at Credit Suisse who was described by friends as an “investment-banking monk.”[1] As of April 30, 2014, Serageldin was also the “only Wall Street executive prosecuted as a result of the financial crisis” that triggered the Great Recession.[2] On Friday, November 22, 2013, Serageldin—the former Managing Director/Global Head of Structured Credit in the Investment Banking Division of Credit Suisse Group—was sentenced to 30 months in prison in connection with a scheme to hide more than $100 million in losses in a mortgage-backed securities trading book at Credit Suisse.[3] Serageldin also agreed to give back $25.6 million in compensation to Credit Suisse, and was later ordered to pay more than $1 million to settle an SEC lawsuit."

>Amazon doesn't need to compete directly with UPS and Fedex to win.
Taking some of the deliveries allows Amazon to threaten to take more (or all) of them and pressures UPS and FedEx into keeping down the rates they charge Amazon.
Derivatives Markets by Robert McDonald is a great textbook. I would not suggest reading it cover to cover, but it's a great reference for truly understanding bonds, options, etc.
I'd also recommend anything by Matt Taibbi, but only if reading about the shadiness of Wall Street interests you. His books are well written and fact checked, but definitely have a bias that you may not care for.
Similar situation near Atlanta, Georgia (not the center of the US) was discussed earlier this year [1]. Reply All had a good podcast about figuring out the real issue [2] in this case.
