This problem is US specific, I guess. Many countries disallow politicians to trade or at least limit it severely.
well if the bookies were making the rules of international sporting events i'm sure they would have removed that rule by now
Believe it or not, they’re actually working on that. Whether it will come to pass is anyone’s guess though. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/58
No, they're not. That was introduced during last session and never made it past committee. It literally says so in the link you provided.
That just means it’s currently stuck in the committee and they haven’t scheduled a formal hearing or vote yet.
Because they legalized their own crimes and corruption. Also, Citizens United was the death blow to any working class influence in America
Not really a shitpost when it's just highlighting a very real form of open corruption in the USA...
