Most assuredly apt.
A small addendum. When the business is "invested in" as were Solyndra and Proterra by government grants and loans, other uninformed "venture capital" is sucked in only have those "businesses" as friends of government bankrupt themselves as the top management walk away with millions and no liability. Except to the foolish who believed in the "businesses" and of course the taxpayers.
BINGO
I saw a meme today.....
So, if we don’t let athletes bet on the games they have the ability to influence....Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?
Pretty much says it all. There’s no other reason for someone like McCaul to be in Congress, other than to amass more wealth from his insider knowledge. And, there’s no one willing to challenge him and the people of his district continue to send him back, again and again and again.
