The corruption is endemic, unsustainable, and will lead to collapse.

[-] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

Why is healthcare a stock!?

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 8 points 6 hours ago

Everything is financialised in the US

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Where is the SEC? Defunded. F'n Government of Putin.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 7 hours ago

Well he was late to the party.

Everyone else would have dumped it back in November.

Bad title. "Caught" implies that someone will be holding him accountable.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

What, me worry?

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago

It's time to come up with something better than the stock market, especially when morality and shame have left the building and have been replaced by greed and "lookin' out for number one".

[-] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 32 points 18 hours ago

The whole system is broken. I wish I didn’t have to wake up everyday in it.

[-] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 19 hours ago

Guys chill, he's not a Democrat so this is legal and no need to assassinate him.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 75 points 23 hours ago

Are you telling me that the US gov. is corrupt? I don't believe it!

[-] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago

I don't know if this one is considered insider trading. The bill was public record and we all knew how he was going to vote. I guess he could have known the result before the official vote, But at the same time anyone can look up party affiliations and vote history.

[-] BootyBuccaneer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 22 hours ago

Nah, just curious coincides. You have seen nothing, citizen. That's an order.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 97 points 1 day ago

So people are just going to die right?

We’re going to have old people cut off from their health care, rural areas will have their hospitals closed, and people are going to die.

Why is the world such a sick place?

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 58 points 1 day ago

The world? No, it's the US.

[-] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 13 points 18 hours ago

Well, no. It's the world, but especially the US.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 37 points 22 hours ago

Unfortunately, the gutting of USAID and foreign aid programs is projected to kill millions in the developing world.

And don't forget that RFK Jr. wants to let the new strain of bird flu spread. The world could experience a new pandemic in a few years.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 10 points 19 hours ago

A few years feels optimistic. I’d wager on by the end of this year, at the rate everything is getting defunded.

I think people vastly underestimate the effectiveness of annual mitigation efforts by multiple agencies that have either already been cut or on the chopping block.

Many of these agencies go unnoticed because they work well, but will be immediately obvious once they’re gone.

We all knew this was going to pass.

If you thought otherwise I've got a bag for you to hold.

[-] Rookwood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

That doesn't make this acceptable.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

I’ve got a bridge to sell, when you’re done with them.

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Florida real estate magnate here, a highly sought, beautiful lot that combines refreshing moisture and a healthy wildlife population has just come up

Fuck this dude and his vote and all, but I didn’t need to be in congress to know that’s the GOP had the votes and motivation to fuck over Medicaid.

[-] AreaKode@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago

But he has an R next to his name. I thought the Rs were above the law. They can't do "crimes". Crimes are for poors.

[-] prole 3 points 8 hours ago

You misunderstood... By "caught" they just mean that we know he did it. Nothing at all will ever come of this.

Yeah, but it’s not insider trading. Everyone knows they fucked Medicare up.

[-] prole 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)
[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Medicare too.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 28 points 1 day ago

Doesn't even matter anyways. It's legal for them to insider trade. Stories like this are nothing.

[-] ProIsh@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Can't wait to hear all about how democrats are bad because of this.

Wish I would have thought of having enough money to invest in stuff.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 23 hours ago

Insider trading much.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
