@Jason I can't see how earning more money would reduce the insider trading. They'd just have more money to conduct more of it with this plan.

This isn’t illegal, but it should be. We need to pay politicians properly so they don’t do this kind of stuff Senators and Representatives: $174,000 should be $500,000 President: $400,000, should be $10m Vice President: $235,100, should be $5m Total change from today? Only $188m That’s .001% v .004% of the Federal Budget Also, give a housing stipend of $100,000 a year while in office so folks have all pressure and blockers taken away from serving our government

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America. A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact. It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy: 56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases. More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide. 343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information. That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison. The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once: The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry. Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate. Now look at the individual leaderboard: - Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100 - Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers - Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late - Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked. She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO. The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine. The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero. And the cruelest part is this: A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed. But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is. They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing. The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

Read the Book of Mormon. Cover to cover. Pray about it, asking sincerely to know whether it’s true (the final chapter provides specific guidance on this point). Then tell me whether Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ. Will you accept that challenge?

@Kalshi He is a contrarian for the sake of it. He was right once 18 years ago. It's odd that people still put so much stake in his opinions.

@buccocapital Apple's lack of AI development drove me away from iOS to Google Pixel. It's incredible how few people migrate from iOS for the same reason. I think it highlights just how little the general public chooses to leverage AI.

@beffjezos I work in saas and have never felt more liberated in capacity to build and never felt happier or more confident in my role. Depression is not something I contend with, thankfully.

@beffjezos I’m not depressed at all! I also have 3 kids and probably will have another. My job is great and I never put much of my ego in my ability to out-code others. The AIs still need me too, at least in my current role, and family is where my pride is.

@kimmonismus Don't buy new. You can find offices downsizing and selling off their stock pretty commonly. I got two for $400 each.

America is dotted with mid-sized regional hub cities like Chattanooga that are in general the closest to a best of all possible worlds as far as urban life/rural life mixture a place can get, lots of cultural activities and cool urban aesthetics with generally more manageable traffic and lower cost of living than the “big” cities. People in the big cities spend much of their time shitting on these lovely manageably sized regional hubs because they’ve never been to them and are by and large the most provincial closed minded people you’ll ever meet

I don’t like the shade being thrown at my city Chattanooga, Tennessee acting like the Spanish national team is training in some third world country. Chattanooga is a plenty nice enough place for any national team to post up a couple months Put some respect on the Scenic City
