Nancy Pelosi on banning trades for members of congress: “It’s a free market”

[HimmyHendrix]

obviously there’s a big conflict of interest with the people who can set mandates and pass legislation also being allowed to own stocks. But for some reason congress thinks that’s fine.

Insider trading is legal, if you’re a member apparently.

nancy pelosi is also the Mike Jordan of trading btw.

Lol it’s good to note that Pelosi is known for being absolutely filthy at trading. Like ppl watch her just to follow her plays.

She’s corny as shyt
Sounding like a republican
Politicians should be allowed to invest but it should be limited to passively managed index funds
If you work for a large bank like JP Morgan you can’t even trade individual equities as an employee without a long compliance and approval process , basically forcing you to just buy index funds
Yet our politicians can trade Willy nilly with no oversight
Terms limits would also help with this tho a lot of them Would just become board members anyway like they already do
