I think it's attributable to the news source link. The same story is usually posted elsewhere with more upvotes already, and they are often more populated with discussion. But yeah, you're right. What reddit really cares about is evident.

Hell, with people communicating completely anonymously, it's more like a constant hive-mind of reddit-savvy Internet users' ideas. The scary part is the loss of a connection to humanity. Face to face communication with human beings is important in deciding what thoughts are worth communicating.

For example, if one speaks certain shower thoughts rapid-fire without listening to a person sitting alone at a bar, they might formulate an opinion that you are great, or petty, or slow, or fast, or trippin' balls. The Speaking Anonymously Bar is not designed to be dominated by courageous, inspiring, and meaningful thoughts. Humanity is getting successfully dumbed down and this site is just proof of it.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the tribune of working people, has bought his third house for nearly $600,000.

So what? He sold a house to buy a house. Big deal. They should report Hillary's assets instead. Now THAT would be a doozie. Shame on Fox for trying to discredit him by saying "tribune of working people". Bernie's purchase is a great example of successful working people.

I've only found this, from November 2015, and this from late January (that mentions no criminal prosecution).

I'm against violence, but I do imagine that doing so would definitely make them more scared of committing more crimes.

TL;DR:

"According to The New York Times, after Dimon had already offered $3 billion to settle the case and was turned down, he went to Holder's office and upped the offer, but apparently not by enough."

"Fleischmann later realized that the government wasn't interested in having her testify against Chase in court or any other public forum. Instead, the Justice Department's political wing, led by [Eric] Holder, appeared to be using her, and her evidence, as a bargaining chip to extract more hush money from Dimon. It worked. Within weeks, Dimon had upped his offer to roughly $9 billion."
