Using Covid19 for political gain is about as low as you can go.
You think Nancy and Chuck did that? No.
Doctors are saying this is the most contagious deadly disease we as a species has seen in 100 years.
Is CNN blowing it out of proportion? Yes, but they did the same with Malaysia 370, Impeachment, etc.

The attempted media frenzy around this is to try and flip GA, either nationally or at the very least for the senate seat. They all do it and they have always done it. The GA senator says these were third party advisor firm decisions and that's probably true. Did our political geniuses do anything no one in the professional investor class had no idea what or when they would do it? Highly unlikely.

The other side of that is our entire system is built on "us" going to congress. That means business owners, farmers, stock holders, etc. It was never meant to be a separate class of overlords.

Good thing Senators from both parties participated. Now, it is a bipartisan issue. Burn them at the stake.

Then I think we'd be even more likely to ends up with even more career lifetime polititians than we already have.
Blind trust + term limits? That could help a little bit. Maybe.
