    well a lot of congress members own shares in Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics etc so no doubt many also own shares in big pharma.
    wasn't Lloyd Austin on the board of Raytheon? (& Dec 2022 Raytheon won a $1.2 billion contract for UA)
    Be fair to think they own shares in any company / industry that involves Govt funding that they make decisions on
    We all know of Pelosi's share trading expertise where she puts the worlds top market analysts to shame with her ability to pick market tops & bottoms with amazing precision, certainly no insider trading when she buys / sells shares just before congressional decisions
    so while there may not be a 10% for the big guy in this instance, they would profit from share price increases, dividend payments etc
    the only way to prevent conflict of interest would be for all politicians to list their, and their families share holdings, and that they will be banned from voting on any bill that involves industries that they own shares in
    but then they would get around it by getting long lost relatives twice removed on their mothers side to purchase the shares for them and maybe they would offer that relative 10% when the shares are cashed

    Thank you, Bailey is having cluster seizures, so getting them under control is vital. Every time he has one, there's a 25% chance he dies.

    Got a call from a reporter out of Michigan asking about Pete, we were in the same battalion, different companies. Asking to confirm/deny "rumors" about Pete and his command at the time. Told dude I wasn't into spreading or sharing rumors, he kept pushing and asking for others names/numbers. Still trying to figure out out how dude got my number in the first place.

    Edit: Reporters name is Joshua Kaplan from ProPublica. Not sure where they lean, but I'm assuming it's in the blue.

    $9k on icecream! Imagine how much it would be if Biden was campaigning with her
    $2,600,000.00 on privat jets - guess the green policy doesn't apply for all
