        The rules weren’t given to us by God or any moral authority - they were written by lobbyists and trllion dollar corporations. Aka, entities whose self-interest is radically opposed to that of a normal American

      What an Unusual Whale. In a market that averaged just under a 25% return in 2023 Pelosi managed to get 65%. Surely this has nothing to do with the fact that she and her close colleagues are in charge of regulating industry and allocating government money. It’s just that she’s an extra smart and talented trader. And so are a lot of her colleagues. Like, a lot lot. Beating the market is the only thing Congress is good at.
