I'm not gonna defend Feinstein but it's worth noting that the trade they identified doesn't register as abusing insider info the way the others do.
we don’t make those decisions btw. Most institutions admin faculty staff all would lower tuition if they could
I think it was ironic because the guy that said “I remember when I read my first Chomsky book” never actually read a Chomsky book.
this CNN article seems to throw some cold water on whether Burr had inside info ... https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/19/politics/richard-burr-coronavirus-comments/index.html Burr's committee has received periodic briefings on coronavirus as the outbreak has spread, but the committee did not receive briefings on the virus the week of Burr's stock sales, according to a source familiar with the matter. There's no indication that the stock sales were made on the basis of any inside information Burr received as a senator, or that he broke any Senate rules by selling the stock. Congress passed the Stock Act in 2012 that made it illegal for lawmakers to use inside information for financial benefit. Burr was one of three senators to vote against the bill. Burr and his committee have been briefed on the coronavirus outbreak as it has spread, but Burr's February warnings were based primarily on his experience working on public health preparedness and pandemics, as well as the warnings already coming from public health officials, according to two sources.
What people say they like and what they actually like and will vote for are not the same. Warren was a perfect example of this. The more she explained her very popular policies the more she lost in the primary
It's just on brand for this country that everyone is now on board for policies Bernie and Liz are championing (the need to use govt funds to help suffering people and needing to rein in govt corruption) that neither will be the nominee FOR POTUS. I haven't agreed with a lot of Illinihockey points, but I agree with what people say they want and how they vote are different.
we had a 110k income jump from 2018 to 2019. Qualify based on 2018 income but not 2019. I’m not gonna turn down the government’s money though.
No one should turn it down. If you don't need it for bills etc everyone should be spending it on a local business
The stigmatization is to assume everyone on a program is milking the system, and anyone who owns a business is super smart. It Burr did exactly what it appears he did, he’s the personification of greed and hypocrisy.
Guys, it’s ok. He turned off the part of his brain where he heard intelligence briefings. So, it’s cool. Let’s move on.
If you invested $1,000 in the DJIA on January 20, 2017, your investment would be worth $967.05 today. How about that Trump Bump!?!? For reference, if you invested $1,000 in the DJIA on January 20, 2009 and sold your position on March 20, 2012, you would have made $656. Eat shit you miserable waste of space tmbrules

Did they actually hold off on releasing the jobless claims like trump wanted or is that slated for early next week?
I haven’t finished it yet, but I highly recommend watching The Hunt. Very entertaining take on the divide between right and left represented by a Hunger Games style hunt of the right. It makes fun of both sides, but it is pretty fun if not taken too seriously.
