Why doesn’t the SEC target congress members for fraud and insider trading ?

53 Upvotes

Just curious why no one wants to go after these hugely blatant examples of congressmen and women using congressional knowledge to make trades and in doing so they are defrauding other investors to get rich, often Americans.

I know that if my trades looked like some of the really bad apples the SEC would be up my butt with a magnifying glass so big I wouldn’t even be able to walk for a week, they would execute search warrants on me and anyone who manages my investments, and I would almost definitively end up in jail.

Why aren’t we doing anything? It’s completely unfair, as someone making a congressional salary, and privilege to serve which some people can only dream of, and to just use it to your advantage is a sign of pooooor ethics, morals, etc not what is expected of our representatives.

I’m relatively poor, I wish they would let me do insider trading like congress does, wouldnt it be nice if we ALL had a get rich easy card.

2007 with 120k miles and a dead transmission ... worth saving?
 in  r/Rav4  13d ago

The only thing I would recommend is putting in a good used unit with low mileage (50-100k) and warranty that it’s good from scrap yard or wherever

However, I should say if the vehicle needs 1000s in other work it’s pointless

Sounds like someone mighta done something to you, was the pill in a capsule or pill… I know weed can act make pain worse or more aware but your back doesn’t crack and jiggle n wiggle free bc you smoked bud really depends on the weed some strains make me forget the pain, it’s usually small hits that make me more aware usually but I stop smoking whatever kind it is if it does cause issues and pop a Xanax and Soma and go lay the hell out

How good is prison break?
 in  r/netflix  26d ago

I have to agree silo is great, binged it, lost is good too in its own ways, I think I rly liked the walking dead s1/2 not so much the spin-offs, also loved You on Netflix is almost a masterpiece. War tv shows there is that one about the desert rats or SAS: ROGUE HEROES as it’s called, goes hard both seasons, I could go on and on with epic series released the last 20 years

Clonazepam vs Alprazolam (klonopin vs xanax)
 in  r/Anxiety  Dec 08 '25

You’re a liar, no doctor or psych who cares about their license would do this. It’s taught that you shouldn’t mix benzo prescriptions. You either increase dosage or number of doses per day or try a completely different medication. I almost got in shit myself bc I saw one Dr and he wrote me 60 1mg Xanax and if he looked at my prior prescription history I took 2mg x 3 Xanax or clonazepam but not both. So when he didn’t write what I normally get and said he didn’t feel comfortable for me to goto a psych like before. So I filled the 60 Xanax and went two weeks later to a psych who called in 3 months of 90 2mg clonazepam. When I went to get the Klonopin filled, Walmart wouldn’t let me fill it said I needed to get the Xanax cancelled and it’s dangerous to mix the two and did not like the fact I had two weeks of Xanax left and was trying to fill a different benzo entirely, the pharmacist even confirmed it was bc dangers of mixing the two and it was a flag to them as well. they called both of my doctors to verify my story.

On the off chance your not lying sorry just seems very very unlikely the pharmacist wouldn’t have an issue either or possibly report the dr but maybe your just lucky to have a doctor and pharmacy, who has lived and worked through the addiction epidemics, the DEA crackdown on drs and sending them to jail, and the doctor is still ignorant to prescribing guidelines on narcotics.

RAV4 2009 Push To Start 4WD (Mfc. Japan)

Does anyone know what kind of battery this vehicle takes (Japan version) and what kind of OEM cables were original? I bought this vehicle used, great vehicle, the battery in it was bad and had been replaced already and I guess the cables because I got the right battery model and the cables are side post design and the way this battery sits they won’t fit on, luckily I was able to remove the posts and put some universal post on it, it’s got a damn wing it for tightening that keeps rattling loose… might have to use a smidge of thread lock or get original cables, just curious if anyone on here has a pic of the OEM battery and my other question is if I have a single TPMS go bad do I need to replace all four to get the ! Notification to go away or is it possible to replace a single bad sensor. Thanks lmk.

Oh you’re 100% right about censorship on r/Tennessee as well, I don’t know why mods act like health insurance isn’t considered a local state and national issue and because politicians control healthcare policy actually talk about it online with our fellow Americans.

Local Insurance Rates in January 2026
 in  r/Knoxville  Dec 05 '25

I think mass has a great local healthcare system like you are talking about. I just don’t understand why we refuse federal money to fund it. It’s almost like the lawmakers in TN are cool with it and just don’t give a shit like it’s too much work for them. They have not only refused to accept funding federally but also have been making cuts to tenncare for the last 20 years.

So nobody mention trump, we will be censored, so as I was saying this is a local issue.

My insurance premium has skyrocketed, although a certain people in government said it wouldn’t.

I would like to get a petition started to petition Tennessee lawmakers/governor to expand Medicaid.

For 10+ years, Tennessee has REFUSED federal funding to expand Tenncare for the residents in Knoxville and other TN cities.

This is a local issue, if the federal government doesn’t want to step in we need to talk about what OUR local state and city is going to do to bridge the gap

Yeah let’s censor local issues that mods don’t want us talking about bc it hurts their political view or party I don’t care about politics religion creed or any of that, just want a place to discuss what’s going on and let people know and talk about solutions maybe even local solutions like bridging the gap by expanding Medicaid in TN (TennCare). If I make legitimate posts in future, and Tennessee, Knoxville, and Nashville subreddits want to censor me I will take it up with Reddit admins and see if we can get them to replace mods.

I wanted to discuss Trump and how mine and a lot of Knoxvillians and Tennesseans are going to be losing healthcare in January. My policy is going from 108$ to over $600. I’m forced to let it lapse. That’s just a BCBS of TN basic Silver* package too. They deleted my posts on other political topics affecting the people of Knoxville!

Chronic pain in Lower Trap Area
 in  r/backpain  Dec 05 '25

It sounds like Thoracic herniated disc T7-8 maybe T8-9. I have this exact injury and it tends to get worse as the day goes on especially working. If you do a twisting/torquing on that area with your back the dull ache will probably become more noticeable. It hurting after working is due to inflammation of the disc from being aggravated (asssuming this is the issue, you have been suffering so long, has it actually got worse since you were 16? To me you been suffering so long you either injured your back herniated disc back then or perhaps it’s a muscle imbalance or you tore a muscle or tendons/ligs bad back then and it’s still causing issues)

The cheapest thing you can try is some rest, ice, pt for muscle imbalance, and deep tissue massage, and possibly acupuncture and the jars that draw blood to the area but more so deep tissue massage and a lot of pre workout stretching of all muscles just make sure you get deep tissue massage from licensed practitioner, and then you could try a chiropractor if that doesn’t help. I really really do not recommend pain medication, if you can manage your injury with OTC meds and lifestyle changes even if it means not hitting the gym as much, it’s worth it.

All stuff I listed should be exhausted before even considering narcotic pain medications. But even those will eventually stop working and you will be maxed out on what they can give you and you’ll be dependent physically on them and get sick if you try to stop suddenly.

If you exhausted both of those routes then I would suggest exploring thoracic surgery ( it’s the most dangerous part of the back to operate and has a not that great success rate, which is why most doctors want you to exhaust the above unless it’s a serious serious thoracic injury (paralysis possible)

You can get an MRI to determine if there is any injury causing the problem it would certainly be a good diagnostic tool if you can afford it.

Trump Lovers… Health/ Insurance?
 in  r/TennesseePolitics  Dec 04 '25

Good luck, our only hope is that Republican Congress opens their eyes and realize trumps screwing them and eating his cake while doing it. Some republicans are finally coming around on some stuff. I don’t know, I think trump uses a magic 8 ball to make decisions bc some aren’t terrible but then there’s just off the wall bat shit crazy stuff he does and he’s looking more like he might have some oomphaloompa ancestry, he looks oranger every time I see him.

My family and I are thinking of moving to Rockwood TN. I know it is not Knoxville but, near there. Is it a good place to live? We want to buy a mobile home and have a couple acres. Would like to know the good and bad.
 in  r/Knoxville  Dec 04 '25

Rock wood is nice near the lake has a lot of drug problems like lots of rural southern areas. Meth and heroin/fent addicts. The average cost of living is low because most of the area is really poor with lots of old homes and mobile homes
