Politicians sold stocks that were timed too perfectly right before lockdowns. Politicians bought stocks for companies that make vaccines, and then made vaccines mandatory in their states/cities. They buy stocks for companies that make PPE (proper protective equipment like masks), then make PPE mandatory, and then buy PPE directly from the company they have stock in. Politicians like Pelosi are up over 2K% trading stocks on the decade, and yet the media and politicians blame misinformation for our distrust of the government. Its the actions of politicians and their insider trading that creates a conflict of interest and distrust of the government. Historically politicians that conducted insider trading a hundred years ago would invest the money they made back into their communities and cities. Now they buy personal assets like mansions and Teslas. Ban politicians from insider trading or increase the level of punishment. Also, we need to punish politicians to a greater extent when they trade during periods theyre not allowed to - Im talk about you Jerome Powell
