  • This should be an absolute no-brainer, and should most ESPECIALLY apply to those in the WH - and their families. Especially if no one is going to stop the lawlessness of Taco and his illegal tariffs and the related market manipulation there.

    Hell, those of use that are attached to companies that do anything in the financial space know full well that WE are under a microscope when it comes to OUR money moves - and there are tools that exist that attach to your bank account(s) directly to enforce this.

    There is no FUCKING WAY that it’s fair that all of us plebes that this applies to have this level of oversight and these motherfuckers haven’t had it for years.


  • I think those in Congress should be allowed to park their money into a Boglehead style three-fund portfolio - with some percentage in bonds, some in S&P and the third portion in international stocks and you freeze the percentage at the outset of your term.

    Each term you serve, you have a new opportunity to rebalance (based on risk you want to take on - less as you grow older), and that’s it. They can do dollar cost averaging into those three funds, but that’s it - it has to be at the same percentage split they decided at the outset of their term. No selling of any of these for their entire term - it’s buy and hold, baby.

    That’s plenty of opportunity for them to still take part in the market - and they could dial up/down the amount of dollar cost averaging as much as they want and whenever they want (although those would get close inspection based on timing in the event of someone like Taco messing with the market over tariffs).

    This is more than enough engagement with the market and plenty of opportunity to make money. Plenty of Americans do far less market engagement than this.






  • You don’t deserve better than others.

    Could not agree more. That kind of thing is part of the problem if you ask me. We have this culture where people are expected to genuflect to cops and military. I don’t think they deserve less, depending on how they do their job. I just don’t understand why it’s expected that military and cops should be treated better. Why? If anything, I think we should be thanking caregivers and teachers, etc. for their service…

    I realize stories like this are meant to humanize the situation for a lot of normies as to just what Taco and Pee Wee German are doing to this country, but…it is a bit cloying to see that entitlement aspect.
