Toast, Anonymous Fedi FungusSo, um kegseth’s broker tried to buy a shit ton of defense stocks right before the start of the Iran attack? Even blackrock thought that was too suspicious. This is either extremely corrupt or another failure of SECDEF to keep his mouth shut about secrets. Probably both.
Randall Lee@ShiitakeToast Move along, move along. Nothing to see here?

Urzl@ShiitakeToast Once again I'll say - everyone in the executive admin puts their entire net worth into a trust whose holdings are all index funds.
They make money only if *everybody* makes money.
This is the only possible fix. It must be mandatory and it must be enforced with great enthusiasm.
@gooba42 I would add congress and the judiciary, too.
@ShiitakeToast I'm reluctant to throw all the staffers and other workaday positions in the same pot but all three branches should absolutely participate.
I just don't know how to get around the shenanigans where they're definitely going to cheat by giving it to someone else.
WesDym@ShiitakeToast This regime is easily the most corrupt govt in US history. There have been some obscenely corrupt pols in our history, but never before an entire regime. It's obscene corruption top to bottom, corner to corner. They make common mobsters look restrained, even respectable.
