  • Legislative Risk: What It is, How It Works

    From Fred Bloggs@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 24 08:43:27 2023
    They forget to mention things like maybe this explains how American politicians are so rich. Their power is more far reaching than realized.

    And look at the complexity of managing Walmart.

    That article doesn't explain that at all. Politicians get rich off of:
    1. Insider trading
    2. Revolving door employment
    3. Bribery
    The first two are legal, that last one not so much. Clearly, bribery is how Lyin' Biden got much of his wealth. Exposing illegal activity by politicians needs to be a top priority; stopping insider trading MUST come from the same politicians benefitting
    from it (in other words, forget it); revolving door employment is just a fact of life.

    One hopes that Sewage Sweeper hasn't got enough money to make him worth suing for libel. Accusing a politician of taking bribes is actionable - it's not part of the regular currency of insult.

    Exposing illegal activity by politicians needs to be a top priority; stopping insider trading MUST come from the same politicians benefiting from it (in other words, forget it); revolving door employment is just a fact of life.

    Sadly, inventing supposed illegal activity by opposition politicians is very popular tactic, to the extent that when a politician like Donald Trump who really is a criminal get prosecuted his supporters cry "witch-hunt".

    Australian politicians do go after insider trading, so perhaps America needs to work on getting better politicians.
