Some more COVID things, good and evil

The good: Bandcamp is waving its cut of sales today, so buy some music and all the proceeds go to the artist!

Another good: Willie Nelson hosts an annual party at his ranch where a whole bunch of musicians perform. Well, he cancelled it for obvious reasons. So the performers performed from home and live-streamed it! You can watch it for free and make donations if you like.

A list of senators who sold stock after the January closed door intelligence briefing regarding the coronavirus:

Senator Richard Burr
Senator Kelly Loefner
Senator Dianne Feinstein,
Senator Ron Johnson
Senator Jim Inhofe

So a mixed bunch from both parties. I'm still in favor of the pillory.

I still am a strong supporter of Term Limits: For every term a politician serves, they must also serve at least that long in jail.

ROFLMAO!  Absotootly!

The stocks for the lot of them, once it's safe for them to be in public in such a way. And all of their profits and assets related to such a trade seized and redistributed to those who have suffered under the pandemic.

And further legislation to require that all public office-holders place their assets in trusts to be managed for them for the duration of their service. (At the very least, for state and federal offices, but I can imagine certain localities insisting as well, when the budget gets big enough.)

I think the fairest way to redistribute the money they gained would be to give it to the poor in the district in which they live/represent.  That would be a nice comeuppance.

That would be the best way of doing it.
