Nancy Pelosi’s husband sold Visa shares 2 months before a DOJ lawsuit — some say the trade shouldn't have been allowed
  • My comment was meaning to say that the only people who can put laws in place to stop politicians from being able to participate in trading stocks are politicians.

    Clearly the laws in place do not stop them currently.

  • Nancy Pelosi’s husband sold Visa shares 2 months before a DOJ lawsuit — some say the trade shouldn't have been allowed
  • The only people who can stop politicians from being able to participate in the stock market is politicians and well…

    Some of the founding fathers were even benefiting from stock and bond trading and selling.

  • Choice
  • It is a two party problem but dems and their cult-like followers act like the politicians they worship can do no wrong. Both parties are businesses and that’s it.

  • Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris
  • Wonder who she actually supports. And who her bf supports

  • Trump refuses to say if he wants Ukraine to win the war
  • And Kamala refused to say whether babies can be aborted at 9 months. Politicians being politicians.

    EDIT: She didn’t respond to the Chinese tariffs question either. Stop glorifying politicians. None of them are being straight with you, because they’re playing the fence for votes. You can admit that politicians are bad AND you can still support and vote for them.

  • Missouri High Court Restores Abortion Measure to Ballot
  • They’re basically just doing what the SCOTUS did punting the decision downstream. It’s up to the states and ultimately the people of those states to decide.

  • American woman shot dead at anti-settler protest in West Bank
  • Could be rephrased as: US puppet military kills its own citizen

  • Longlegs: Just watched it, incredibly disappointed.
  • Yup. Awesome production. Underwhelming story and twist. Also not scary.

  • The Hyundai N Vision 74 Is Set For Production
  • Can’t wait to get this in GT7

  • Don’t even care how it drives. Looks that good.

  • Big Pharma claims lower prices will mean giving up miracle medications. Ignore them.
  • Until they can cure cancer they have no leverage

  • Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”
  • They should have been more conservative in their business and expected that it was only surging because of the pandemic. They cashed in on the IPO but should have gotten out. Now they’re beholden to investors. Probably made enough money to not care if the company crashes and burns.

  • Should FTC limit how much of a single stock an entity like Berkshire can sell in a specific timeframe?

    Not talking about touching the little guys. Talking about something like limiting sales or buys to $1M per day to curb the leverage these big corps have on the market.

    This past selloff is a clear example of big fish manipulating the market

    Big guys like Berkshire have so much leverage in the market. They can sell a huge chunk of stocks causing chaos and a huge drop in price, then buy low and profit. The stock market isn’t fair to regular investors. You’re at the mercy of these big firms.

    If you care about US democracy, tell your congressperson to support the Fair Representation Act!
    p2a.co Take Action: Ask your U.S Representative to support the Fair Representation Act!

    I just emailed my U.S. Representative, asking them to support the Fair Representation Act! Join me by doing the same: [@campaign]

    Take Action: Ask your U.S Representative to support the Fair Representation Act!

    The Fair Representation Act has been re-introduced in Congress. This bold solution can stop gerrymandering and make Congress work for every American.

    The Fair Representation Act can solve partisan gerrymandering, make every congressional district competitive, and encourage politicians to represent all of us instead of just their base. It does this by combining three reforms:

    • Multi-member districts. In three- or five-member districts, nearly every voter will elect a candidate they support. Voters like Massachusetts Republicans and Oklahoma Democrats will be represented in Congress. Gerrymandering will become nearly impossible.

    • Ranked choice voting for all U.S. House and Senate elections. RCV frees voters to support their favorite candidates, and encourages candidates to reach out to more voters for second-choice support. When RCV is used in multi-member districts, it is a form of proportional representation.

    • Uniform rules for congressional redistricting

    The Fair Representation Act can be passed without a constitutional amendment. It truly has the potential to transform our political system and create a more inclusive and deliberative government which respects and empowers all voices.

    Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?

    I’m guessing it’s from dry air god me but even with humidifier I always have to blow my nose a bunch of times in the morning. Sometimes my lungs feel tight for a while after waking up. This happen to anybody else? Why does it happen for you?

    How can we reform the Law of War to allow heads of state and government buildings to be targeted?

    It doesn’t make any sense to me that leaders of countries can declare war with total immunity from its violence, unless they’re actually fighting themselves, which in most cases they are not.

    They have nothing to lose when they declare war, so why should they be allowed to put all of us at risk?

    How can the Laws of War be changed to hold politicians accountable for their actions and make them think long and hard before engaging in wars? Maybe alternatively, all politicians including the president/PM/leader should have to serve in the military as well.

    Why did you decide to become a parent?

    Just that. Can be accidental pregnancy. Can be that your partner wanted to have kids, but it has to be why YOU made the decision.

    Does anybody else feel guilty being suspicious of anybody in a black hoodie with the hood up?

    Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I'm always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and murder seen in media are somebody with a hood and/or mask on.

    Did Lemmy remove infinite scrolling or is it just a setting? I see a next button now.

    If they removed infinite scrolling I think this is awesome! Infinite scrolling is addictive and related to multiple detrimental psychological effects.
