This doesn't happen because people are stupid, or because of "fear and greed", or any other self-serving explanations. It is the automatic consequence of a normal distribution in the willingness of individuals and institutions to take risk.

According to WHTP Director Martha Kumar’s tabulations, Biden has held about half as many as news conferences and given around a third as many interviews as Trump had at this point in his presidency. He’s in front of cameras less frequently as well. https://t.co/LuwDsAt99x

It seems the Trump administration had little to no interest in complying with the Presidential Records Act. As WHTP Director Martha Kumar reminds us, enforcing the act is difficult. https://t.co/dNJp9TlPex

“The harsh Price and Psaki exchanges with reporters were evidence of the intensity of President Biden’s views. Press spokespeople reflect a president’s tone, not just his words,” according to WHTP Director Martha Joynt Kumar https://t.co/sjHbBKQKVA

China, a Beijing economists, explains, "is one of the few economies in the world that is not rattled by high inflation and has more room for policy maneuvers to buttress its economy."
He's referring of course to monetary policy, but I think he's wrong.
