Whenever the absence of corruption is found, THAT is newsworthy. Our government may not be salvageable.
Isn’t that trading stocks on insider information? Which happens to be illegal? Anyone ask Martha Stewart?
The article is written in the spirit of “too big a problem to care” thesis.
Get rich quick with this one trick.
This is a policy that needs to be addressed and enforced. I work for an agency that has hired a few seasoned employees who worked for the contractor. Yes, managers to took a Govt Job.
Part of their retirement package was the contractor’s 401K program and stock purchase program. They do not purchase shares after they started with the agency; but we cannot force them to liquidate their retirement they started before beginning with the Agency
Then there is the consideration of whether they are in a position to influence (either positively or negatively) future Govt contracts. I understand and support the idea of Govt agents or politicians benefiting from stock, via insider trading.
But there are exceptions
I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of having to go to prison.
I’ve said for years
Term Limits and Stock Limits on Congressmen are wrong-footed and actually weaken the republic.
Fed.gov is so bloated and massive, its the MIC and bureaucrats who actually make the regulations and receive the bulk of lobbying efforts. They build fiefdoms which are completely unaccountable.
At least you can campaign against a corrupt congressman. You have Zero input over the likes of Fauci or Comey
TERM LIMITS for all Fed.gov bureaucrats and their programs FIRST
Of course, been happening for a looong time. They legislate for their lobbyists to a profitable outcome for themselves.
Don’t we already know this? Right up there with giving family memebers businesses government contracts
Good work if you can get it.
p
we slaves who lost 20-50% are getting really pissed..
Corruption is endemic to government, at every level. Makes it right? No. I would prefer laws that make it required for all public officials, elected or appointed (including all judges), to put their investments in a blind trust. You are not forced to work in government, but if you choose to any hint of possible conflict of interest should be removed.
Didn’t Nan just invest in a drug company that makes radiation fall out treatment?
Didn’t XiDen even MORE recently just make a YUGE purchase of this drug?
They all did their OGE450s and 1)nobody bothered to review them and/or 2) if reviewed, the contents were ignored.
I would love to see how many bureaucrats and politicians bought Pfizer stock in 2019
HHS bought $290 million of radiation medicine from Amgen. Prior to the sale the Pelosi’s purchased 10,000 shares of Amgen.
