I want to see Nancy Pelosi in jail for insider trading the same as I want to see Trump in jail for inciting insurrection. It's ridiculous that we have as many signs of insider trading as we have and yet we do nothing about it. In a proper system, there'd be an investigation and we'd have proof and we'd do something about it.

I think if you asked average USA citizens, the majority would support more restrictions, or an outright ban on trading, for the legislature. But our country isn't even pretend-run according to the will of the people at this point. The veneer of listening to the people is practically completely gone.

I remember writing to one of my reps about a decade ago, urging that she vote a particular way on an issue. The canned auto-reply that I got in response told me why she was right to take the opposite stance and didn't even pretend to value my feedback. It used to be part of the job that a politician would lie to you and say they valued your opinion, even if we all knew that was bs. It was a real mask-off moment that I didn't realize was about to become the norm throughout our country.
