    she is married to a venture capitalist who got rich off oracle or some other company but mostly insider trading tips from her.

    There, fixed it for you.

      My understanding is that all of the venture capitalists who invested in oracle became successful, not just the one who was married to a congressperson.

      Capitalism itself is the conspiracy, I’m not sure capitalism+marriage makes it an extra level of evil, lol.

        Sure, but this one then became much richer than he already was through marrying a congresperson who consistently outperforms the market herself in spite of having no background in stock trading prior to achieving various political posts that inherently bring inside information.

        Capatilism+exploiting your marriage with a corrupt politician for unfair financial gain or BEING that endlessly corrupt politician, on the other hand…

      The people downvoting this didn’t read about the trades made by congress people right before we declared a pan.

        Or visited one of the many sites advising how to get rich by investing in the Nancy Pelosi index

        Of course, since she only has to disclose her trades at a significant delay, you won’t get in on it before the profit potential is significantly decreased compared to her mysteriously perfect timing, THE hallmark of insider trading.
