I was in the workforce for over 20 years. Never got a pay raise that matched inflation. Started my own business growing marijuana, and have been able to buy a house and save up a retirement fund in a little over 7 years.
Parasite, parasite, parasite, parasite, just to add some explanation.
Edit: An FBI agent contacted me and said that selecting 4 individuals out of 400 in one year is not a statistical anomaly. He also wanted me to tell you that Snowden might be affiliated with Russian government and spread the propaganda

No...you mean the guy who stole state secrets and fled to Russia where he was welcomed with open arms might actually be a tool of the Russian propaganda machine to further divide Americans and destabilize our society?
What has changed because of him? Anything that benefits America or Americans?
No. Not a damn thing has changed for us. Meanwhile Putin has a nice little puppet to tweet out divisive and intentionally misleading shit like this and people like you mop it right up. Because he stuck it to the man. The same man that Putin loves sticking it to. "The enemy of my enemy".
You don't see how the changes in legislation Snowden caused point America in the direction of being a more ethical country? Oh wait, you're right, that's not a beneficial change for America if the American powers-that-be don't care if their actions are criminal or unconstitutional.
But seriously, you don't think the world-wide revelation that the US was committing mass privacy violations, or the revelation that our government lies/covers up unconstitutional/criminal behavior was a major change? It speaks volumes about you if you don't think exposing tyrannical behavior is a benefit to Americans.
Legislation doesn't mean anything to extrajudicial surveillance. They gonna do what they gonna do. The world knows and knew all about it all along. US surveillance and intelligence had been an open secret since the Patriot Act.
All that resulted from it was Putin got a nice puppet.
Hmm, the real question is whether this is consistent year over year... beating the S&P500 one year doesn't really indicate anything.
Also there are 535 people in the US congress but only like 30 on these two lists... and not the same 30 both years. How many lost money in those same years?
Assuming you meant "historical", then these two years of data imply that ~5% of congress members beat the S&P500 per year, and not the same people every year... which seems statistically insignificant.
Yep, people make a big thing out of it and maybe the proportion of them that beat SPY is higher than the proportion of random investors that do it, but there's no good way to say 🤷
Thanks! This completly debunks the insider trade myth. You would expect a Gaussian distribution around the mean, which would be a market neutral index. And you get even a slightly to the left shifted Gaussian bell curve.
Oh so now I can say "both sides?" I thought that was anathema around here.
I'm tired of us not criticizing the democrats for doing the same shit as the republicans because the republicans are worse. "Both sides" never meant both sides are equal, it means both sides are above the "shitty" threshold, even if varying degrees, and many of the problems are bipartisan, shit needs to change all around.
I haven't met anyone not looking for accountability for D's on the left. I only hear "Good, if theyre guilty lock them up too".
"Both sides" is shorthand for "both sides are the same" at least to me. It's the false equivalency that is the problem -- which you're not doing to be clear.
