Bidenflation and Shortage thread

[UNI88]

Missed it then.

A coworker and my myself were having that conversation just yesterday. I think it would be worth looking into at least on the high level side.

There was a Twitter account called Pelosi Portfolio Tracker that highlighted Pelosi's trades and activities. Surprisingly Twitter shut it down.

And then there's this

They should be restricted to mutual funds, ETFs, etc. No company-specific trading

I posted long ago that there should be two mutual funds - one of companies that Dems love and one of companies that Republicans love. Those are their options..oh and if you're a Democrat you HAVE TO invest in Republican companies and vice versa.

And no FAANG stocks. That's just too easy.

There's a reason why these folks stay in these jobs well into their 80's or even their 90's, if they live that long, while ordinary folks try to retire in their 60's. The insane amount of money you can make while being an elected official is just overwhelming. Why would you purposely leave a gig where you pretty much have little to no responsibility to do anything and can insider trade on stuff until the cows come home and get filthy rich? What a system.

Because you have to spend at least part of the year on the East Coast…duh!

And engage in the stock market with insider knowledge.

Speaking of insider trading. Have you seen the Business Insider series of articles they are coming out with?

The nation is unabashedly polarized. Republicans and Democrats enjoy little goodwill and less commonality.

But in Washington, DC, a bipartisan phenomenon is thriving. Numerous members of Congress, both liberal and conservative, are united in their demonstrated indifference toward a law designed to quash corruption and curb conflicts-of-interest.

Insider's new investigative reporting project, "Conflicted Congress," chronicles the myriad ways members of the US House and Senate have eviscerated their own ethical standards, avoided consequences, and blinded Americans to the many moments when lawmakers' personal finances clash with their public duties.

In all, Insider spent hundreds of hours over five months reviewing nearly 9,000 financial-disclosure reports for every sitting lawmaker and their top-ranking staffers. Reporters conducted hundreds of interviews, including those with some of the nation's most powerful leaders.

Beginning December 13 and running one week, Insider is publishing more than two-dozen articles and data visualizations that reveal:

49 members of Congress and 182 senior-level congressional staffers who have violated a federal conflicts-of-interest law.
Nearly 75 federal lawmakers who held stocks in COVID-19 vaccine makers Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, or Pfizer in 2020, with many of them buying or selling these stocks in the early weeks of the pandemic.
15 lawmakers tasked with shaping US defense policy that actively invest in military contractors.
More than a dozen environmentally-minded Democrats who invest in fossil fuel companies or other corporations with concerning environmental track records.
Members who regularly chide "the media" but personally pour their money into at least one of the nation's largest news media or social media companies, including Facebook, Twitter, Comcast, Disney, and the New York Times Co.
16 lawmakers who buy and hold tobacco company stock, including some who have publicly fought smoking.
Senators, House members, and top Capitol Hill staffers who will help decide whether the government regulates cryptocurrency — and are themselves invested in bitcoin and altcoins.
25 wealthiest members of Congress and where they put their money.
50 most popular stock holdings among members of Congress.

Proves that the Capitol is a building full of crooks, thieves, and liars. And yet people get upset, and are more worried about, a bunch of people tresspassing in a a building full of crooks, thieves amd liars, then they are about the far worse actions of the building full of crooks, thieves, and liars.

You are correct. Maybe part of the problem was that the people trespassing in the Capitol were doing it to advance the interests and lies of a crook, thief and liar that was occupying the White House at the time.

They should just let them go so they can grow new wings. I hear Red Bull works wonders.

Biden is now mandating that health insurance cover at home Covid testing. 8 tests per month per person. There's already a shortage of tests and now this will make it worse. How much is health insurance going to go up next year? How much fraud is going to go on with this? Heard on the news this morning it could cost insurance companies $48 billion/month.

Gas is up a little, thats about it here. Prices always go up, its still early to be whining. If you're having trouble making ends meet get a second job, they're everywhere.

I know you don't like responses to your posts coming after some arbitrary time but plenty of people are upset about both. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

I’ll either:
-Read to the end of the thread before responding
-Respond and then continue reading to the end of the thread.

So I’m rarely missing any posts in a thread I post on, except for the ones from JSO and Densedawg that I skip over.

I have severe OCD and I’ll either:
-Read to the end of the thread before responding
-Respond and then continue reading to the end of the thread.

So I’m rarely missing any posts in a thread I post on, except for the ones from JSO and Densedawg that I skip over.

I expect everyone to use a similar approach and because of my OCD, I can't resist calling them out when they don't.

Fixed for accuracy.
