If you're really tired or on drugs it will look and sound like we wrote and said that Ro Khanna represents California's 17th district, not 12th, which is correct
-
If athletes can’t sports bet, then politicians shouldn’t stock bet.
-
The fine being $200 and even then not even being enforced is so insane
-
I will never forget when Nancy Pelosi did an interview on CNN during the height of the pandemic in her home office and told Wolf Blitzer that giving the American people $1500 as a stimulus was too much money, as she sat in front of an original De Kooning painting that was worth millions of dollars. I know that because I’m currently sitting on $29,000 worth of student loan debt for studying art history.

"Rival News Youtube Channel, 60 minutes" LMAOOOOOOOO
-
Fully expected Dan to just stand in front of a bin on a grotty side street, look directly into the camera, say NO, and roll credits, and that would have been completely acceptable.
-
This was the moment that Good Work became Great Work
-
Nancy Pelosi straight up said "the free market should favour me"
-
This channel quickly went from “haha finance bros” to “our government is deeply corrupt and is happy to stay that way” and I’m here for it
-
The short answer is No. The long answer is No.
-
“Our lives, but more importantly, our financial market”💀💀💀
-
Morgan Stanley analysts aren’t even allowed to trade individual stocks are they? My mate works at JP Morgan and he’s more restricted than US politicians
-
In Norway we recently had a scandal where the husbands of two politicans had traded stocks. Since they could potentially have gotten info from their spouse it was a big deal and one of them quit their job because of it. Politicans straight up trading themselves is insane 🤯
-
I can't believe Dan graduated from having his apartment described as a place someone goes to off themselves to interviewing members of Congress. Good Work!
-
Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.
-
The people who have the power to change it - directly profit from it. That means it will not change.
-
Wait, how is this allowed at all?
-
I think the obvious solution is to pay politicians more. Poor guys, need to run side hustles.
-
The only problem, Nancy, is when you and your colleagues participate in the stock market, it’s no longer a free market economy. It’s a manipulated oligarchy.

"Rival news TV channel 60 minutes" is a WILD statement lmfao
