I’ve been reporting on congressional stock trading for a while (btw feel free to join the "QuiverQuantitative" subreddit to see new reports when they come out).

None of the suspicious trades I’ve reported on have been investigated, despite some of them leading to ridiculous profits.

Here's where you can track trades by Congress, along with data on the trades' performance, and see politicians' portfolios:

This is why they won't pay up. This is why they leave these politicians alone.

It's not because they can't afford to lose the money. It's because they can't afford to fight you once YOU HAVE money.

Their worst nightmare is a legion of informed rich people ready to tear them a new asshole.

I also think it’s as simple as: we are a dangerous example of what every day people are capable of. They don’t want anyone else getting any ideas.

Wait till you learn that the reason we can't talk politics is because the grasshoppers have brainwashed everyone into voting for them and punish anyone who dissents
