By 'outstanding work' I assume that was in reference to the post above yours and not that CNN dork.

No, it was in reference to the politician who got confused between Voltaire and the Nazi pederast. Maybe if they had better books in the school libraries that wouldn't be such an easy mistake to make.

Way too much reading?  A tweeted graph you could read inside of 10 seconds, a facetiously grandiloquent phrase accompanying a bobbing motorboat with funbags?...where's the "TL;DR" here?   

The graph was a tweet about an article, which had numerous subarticles written up and linked in it delving into the numerous types of of investments involved and actions taken.

I don't imagine any amount of reading will change my mind on how scummy and corrupt the politicians involved are

No argument.  Pols lining their pockets has been around almost as long as the 'oldest profession' itself.

I don't understand how this conversation wasn't "hey guys, we just realised that elected representatives who make laws and are privy to all sorts of classified information that the public and often the markets don't have are actually allowed to trade on the stock market, should we do something about that?"

"freak yes of course we should, how did the founding fathers miss that?"

And thus the legislation was passed by lunchtime and they carried on with all sorts of other far more complex and nuanced things.

This is well done.
