Econ prof at BU. I mostly study hidden influence in U.S. politics (not so hidden these days). Some people call it corruption. I agree... https://sites.bu.edu/fisman/
Working on a book about whether business will save or destroy the world (Spoiler: Neither)
I should say that his was a non-partisan statement about the practice of politics in general. And certainly not specific to the U.S.

Talking to my wife - a 3rd generation American - I realized that something many people here don’t understand is that the immigrant mentality is a willingness to move. I was an immigrant. My parents were. Their parents were. It feels easy to move again. She doesn’t feel the same way.

Thanks. Given the comovement in stocks these days, trading on individual companies is of secondary importance. A simple fix would be public disclosure of any purchases or sales of any equities etc X days in advance?
