We really need to be kinder to politicians. Let them insider trade in peace on top of their lobbying money and revolving-door consulting deals. They’re sacrificing so much for the people after all. 😂 Nothing says “public servant” quite like outperforming the world’s best hedge funds while writing the laws that move the markets. Pure coincidence, obviously.
“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES” That was the actual argument just made in defense of politicians trading stocks. Members of Congress make $174,000 a year. The median American income is roughly $63,000. (3x less) Meanwhile the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour… also unchanged since 2009. And you’re seriously being told politicians need access to insider trading to survive. The system is designed to lead earth to neo-feudalism. And it’s becoming more brazen by the year. Asset ownership consolidates upward. Living standards decline downward. The middle class gets squeezed from both ends and disappears while the elite class accumulates more wealth, more influence, and more protection. Leaving behind a permanent underclass. And a permanent political-financial aristocracy at the top…

In 2000, Saddam Hussein announced Iraq would sell oil in euros, not U.S. dollars. In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq citing “weapons of mass destruction.” Regime changed, Saddam was captured & executed. Iraqi oil returned to the dollar system. No WMDs were ever found.

#RememberGaza is trending. Let’s keep it going. For every orphaned child, raped Palestinian, and innocent person shot and killed by the IDF as they ran to collect food amidst starvation.
The people who did this want you to know international law and civilian life must be protected.
