To be fair they're all inside trading and most of them are corrupt. Time to wake up America

That kind of comment has the opposite effect, it keeps people asleep with lazy (and corrupt) misinformation. Whenever people say 'they are all the same', they help cover for the actual bad behavior - it's now hidden among all the other behavior and not worth examining or pursuing, and rationalized. They are certainly not all the same. If you don't distinguish them, you cut down the people actually fighting on the front lines. It's friendly fire. They are shot in the back.

  At some point you have to wonder if they're just not allowed to exist to allow plausible deniability... Either way it's clearly not going in the right direction when you have a guy selling cans of fucking beans from the oval office and launching crypto rug pulls

Suppose I wake up and discover that all congresspeople are insider trading. What do I do next?

  Tell everybody else about it, because most Americans are simply unaware at how blatant the insider trading is and how it works.

  Well, you either join them [0, 1] (no affiliation to either) or support people trying to fight them?

    Shame that there’s often a delay of 1-2 months between the trades and when they’re disclosed, so the first option likely isn’t going to work.

  Pray for something very destructive to happen to Capitol Hill during a full session of Congress.

they aren't all corrupt. and for those that are insider trading, few are beating the market.

  That is a good point, the nance and kruz etfs aren't doing badly, but they aren't rockstars either.
