Covid-19: STOCK MARKET

While perusing the news this morning, I ran across this article about Hydroxycholoroquine (below). Now we know that Donald J. Trump has only a "small financial interest" in this manufacturer. But when trading stocks, having the knowledge of precisely when the share price is about to surge is like owning your own printing press for money. And if you are POTUS, then you will need to have knowledge about when such pharmaceuticals will be ready for the public. Now I am *all* for capitalism, but there needs to be an even playing field. When the game is rigged to favor the insiders, everybody else loses. As I recall from high school government class, our President is not supposed to have significant interests in products or services which are impacted by policy decisions, or advanced planning information, right?

Sure, we could trust President Trump, honest Abe that he is, but just to be on the safe side: maybe it's time to get busy calling or writing your representatives in Congress to hedge our bets.

So get busy now!

WE SHALL NOT BE ENSLAVED!
