    Anyone could’ve done this. It was obvious that if this shitty bill passed, it was a good bet to ditch the stock as a preventative measure. Whereas if it didn’t, it’s not like those stocks would surge. This guy is still a scumbag, but this story is burying the lead, which is, Congress just fucked over millions of Americans to again bail out the billionaire class. This is and always has been a class war, and all but the 0.1% are the ones losing.

    When elderly folks start losing their homes due to medical debt foreclosures, these people need to be made to own that result.

      What does it mean to own this result? Getting voted out of congress, which is more than most are likely to get, ends with a cushy corporate job and at least hundreds of thousands more dollars than the people they are fucking over. Even in the best case scenario accountability is a fantasy.
