The more interacted an account's posts are in the past, the more visible the algorithm makes anything they post in the future.

    "trading stocks shouldn't be banned because doing so would cut off a financial source that some politicians use to make ends meet." The annual salary of a US congressman is $174,000 and they get a very generous pension. If they can't make ends meet with that, they should immediately be removed from office because they clearly are wildly out of touch with the reality all the people they supposedly represent have to live in.

      Nancy and her funny freak husband plus probably countless friends and family made 100's of MILLIONS from insider trade stocks. It's not hard to find the details on those facts with a little web hunt and review the dark web finance report dumps. I believe all politicians should be banned from the stock market while elected and every politician along with close friends and family monitored 24x7x365. Politicians should only be allowed income from the salary they accepted when they agreed to represent the citizens. Anything beyond the government salary should be seized

    The fact that those two men are Coloradans first, despite their many differences, warms my heart. We need more of that. I ain't even ever stopped the car going through Colorado and I like it more than ever, now.

      Sadly, Colorado has been californicated. Nevertheless, if your blasting through it's still a beautiful place to to get off the beaten path, rest for a few days, and take in nature's greatness. Pretty much anywhere outside of Denver.

    If states change their voting laws right before an election and there is question as to whether these changes were made legally . . . what's a man to do? As you will recall the saying was "there were not enough votes to change the election" so state courts did not take up these cases. They were talking about not enough votes in their state. Cumulatively from all of these states there could have been enough votes. This was just one of the issues that was to be discussed by the Senators and Congressmen on January 6th. Unfortunately the protest itself and some extreme protestors prevented this from happening.

      as well ,shortly after she bought the stock, Lockheed got a 1 billion dollar government contract.

    I work for the FDA and I am not allowed to hold any stocks regulated by the FDA, which is about 45% of the US economy. I have almost no knowledge or power but due to the possibility of inside knowledge we are all banned out right. How is possible they can?

    They won't pass a law stopping their insider trading but they sure as heck will pass a law against this app. That's got to be against some law already, and I'll bet they will make another more clear law against it. I'm pretty sure this is all wrong anyway. They become millionaires by their $174,000/yr salary. Can't anybody take $174,000 and make it millions?

      FYI it's important to communicate that with the right guidance and financial strategies, achieving financial security is within reach for everyone, including lower-income groups. Belief in the possibility, coupled with informed financial decisions and dedication, can pave the way to financial stability and growth for all.

    How many funds regularly beat the S&P 500 like the politicians do? Very few and if they do it's because the risk is higher where the politicians do it the least riskiest way, using inside information.

    If you are a political public servant, all of your finances should be public. There should be a database that any citizen can go to and see where every dollar you spend goes while you are in office. Completely transparent.

    Ban the congress from stocks, and they'll have their kids, spouses, friends, etc trade with a lawyer created document handing the money to the congressman after the trade. It'd pull WAY too much money out of their pockets. Autopilot also has to use Robinhood, it doesn't work with all trading brokerages.
