He's like, yeah, but I think we all just assume that you guys are all bought off.
I know you aren't, dad, but I just assume everybody else is.
And I think that we have just become, you know, really anesthetized to corruption in politics.
And we shouldn't because it's actually not true that most people are on the take.
In fact, a very small number are.
And the corruption we've seen in the last year is really anomalous.
And so instead of just accepting it and move on, we should stamp it out.
It's a part of a broader problem in society in which we just sort of think that the people that have succeeded in our economy or in our politics, they're just supposed to get whatever spoils come their way.
And I just think we should expect more of our economic leaders, right?
And of our political leaders.
So yeah, it worries me.
Again, I do think it's important to still recognize that...
brazen corruption.
You have inside information and you trade a stock.
It happens in Congress, but it is really the exception.
But we have no reason that we need to trade stocks.
We should just ban that practice.
Right now, though, just to sort of compare it to the prediction markets and how that works, right now we can trade stocks, but we have to disclose all of that.
So at least you can see
whether there was a dirty deal done.
