Musk and the :brainletmaga: are so rarted whining about corruption in one tweet and then saying Congress people should never get any money in the next.

Guess what kind of person wants to take a job with no money and lots of power?

Congressmen should be given a big payrise, but it should be illegal for them, their relatives, or associated entities to trade stock of any kind.

Also, after leaving office, they're not allowed to work in the private sector for a minimum of 1/3 of the years they were in office.

evidence that politicians get insider knowledge all the time? evidence that they trade on that knowledge?

since it's legal for them, there's no investigation, so if you're hoping for court records proving it: :marseyrofl:

A study from 2012-2022 said essentially no: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0047272722000044

Unusual whales claimed yes (for the average, although not everyone) for 2023: https://unusualwhales.com/politics/article/congress-trading-report-2023#pelosi-trading-again

Unusual whales tweets seem kinda r-slurred, so I don't know how much I trust them. But at any rate, doesn't seem like it's some incredible moneymaker for congressppl, compared to just using the S&P 500.

Sadly the jannietype is the good outcome here. A congresscritter who just gets off on status and petty showboating in hearings is annoying, but better than the ones who are actively selling out the public, which is more likely.
