DARPA Moves Forward on X-65: Plane with no moving control surfaces

I'm all for a ban in Congressional stock trading, but the idea that she needs to risk that with an already-wealthy VC husband with plenty of his own insider access seems similarly laughable. (Headlines also tend to call it her wealth, which seems pretty misleading.)

In 2022, their return was -19.8%. 2023 saw the market up enormously, and as my link indicates, Dems in Congress have been benefiting from a focus on tech stocks like Nvidia across the board.

I am more inclined to take that as an argument for "most of Congress" insider trades rather than "Nancy doesn't". I will leave that here though, long political argument ahead if we keep going. Agreeing to disagree. Also, thank you for the link, these stats definitely give a more balanced view.

1/3 beat the market; that means 2/3 did not. Right?

In a population of random idiots, you'd probably expect a certain amount to beat the market, a certain amount to match it, and a certain amount to flub.
