Not what I said. Read my comment again.
It's named after her for a reason. Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.
Which is largely insider trading in the many cases where they pass or even get told in advance of legislation that affects stocks. It's technically legal because Congress is above the law when it comes to insider trading, but it shouldn't be.
Pelosi and other congressional insiders have been "doing well" for DECADES before that index existed.
So you're just wasting both of our time to teach me a lesson about source selection?
I hadn't had my coffee yet, ok? I promise to be more thorough next time, Mr Ombudsman.
Nope. Just because it makes invalid arguments to try and explain it away doesn't mean that it succeeds.
Do... you want to drink some more coffee and maybe try this again?
No. Fuck off.
God, how many times have you told me to fuck off now, five? Six? Enough that my partner recognizes your username. Just... start reading your damn sources. You're better than this, and even if you don't know that, I do. You're a decent person, you screwed up your source on a topic that's more complex than most of the reporting on it tells you, and I called you out on it. Take a deep breath, take the L, move on. Neither of us are going to survive the next four years if we let rational discourse devolve to this state. For what it's worth, I'm sorry I was a dick in calling out your credibility because of one dud link. That was petty of me.
Apology accepted, as long as you prove your sincerity by leaving me alone.
Acceptance accepted then, I suppose! Have a good day.
