Next time Pelosi blasts a pharmaceutical company for charging outrageous prices they just need to hit her back with "We Are a Free-Market Economy".

See, this is what many of us mean when we say "both sides are bad". The sad thing is you have some Democrats/liberals defending Pelosi when they should know better.

I, for one, see nothing wrong with letting our politicians have a stake in the stock market.

What conflicts of interests could possibly happen here?!

Liberalism is a Right-wing ideology which pander to the wealthy and to corporations while throwing up smoke and mirrors by saying but at least we arent racist or homophobic . Then the Liberal politicians implement class dividing policies and pretend to be shocked when said policies have negative effects for minorities in particular.

You obviously must be a secret Republican!

The folly of liberalism is to declare that everyone is equal when that is demonstrably not the case.

as long as they are following rules and regulations on disclosing trades and movement of funds and etc, i'm fine with it. insider trading rules are a thing and they will need to be beholden to them like anyone else, and even moreso due to their power. but she's fundamentally correct.

The oxymoronic nature of liberalism. To claim everyone is equal while supporting a system that guarantees that that won't be the case

Yeah I have seen that online.

In my country, the Liberal parties are shrinking rapidly. The good liberal ideas are deeply ingrained in policies and in the majority of the people so it is not a loss. The horrible Conservative-Liberal Government which ruled Sweden 2006-2014 planted the seeds themselves for Liberalisms destruction by showing how toxic it is.

The poor and the middle-class got worse off while the richest got richer. Healthcare, public education and other safety nets saw cuts. Cutbacks on law enforcement and the Armed Forces too. Too generous immigration policies.

Reminder that this was only 5 months ago:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-07/pelosi-s-husband-locked-in-5-3-million-from-alphabet-options
Speaker Nancy Pelosis husband, Paul Pelosi, won big on Alphabet Inc. stock and added bets on Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc. in the weeks leading up to the House Judiciary Committees vote on antitrust legislation that seeks to severely limit how these companies organize and offer their products.

In a financial disclosure signed by Nancy Pelosi July 2, her husband reported exercising call options to acquire 4,000 shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, at a strike price of $1,200. The trade netted him a $4.8 million gain, and its risen to $5.3 million since then as the shares have jumped.
