- oh_sigh 5y agoThe law also prevents insider trading and other activities which realistically only the rich engage in.
- Wiseacre 5y agoOne action (insider trading) is done to make money in stocks with an illegitimate advantage, and the other (sleeping under a bridge) is done to...survive.
- oh_sigh 5y agoShould insider trading be legal if it is done to survive? At least in my region, the ACLU has sued and won a ruling saying that cops can't ticket people sleeping rough if the shelters are full/not accepting people.
