All animals
are created equal but some animals are more equal than others
But Orwell
was right that some have more desired equality druthers
In the
coronavirus epidemic when tests were rare
And coming
down with a fever filled one with despair
The elite or
wealthy seemed able to step ahead of the scarcity line
With almost
no difficulty tests to allay worry of infection find
Basketball
players in the NBA could calm their infection fears
Be tested to
find the virus had not yet in their system appeared
As people
are losing jobs by the thousands as businesses are due to virus closed down
Others with wealth
in the markets may not see their assets drown
In what in
the Swamp is a typical do as I say not as I do
The laws
governing my acts are different from those governing you
Four
senators have the appearance of receiving advance information on what the
epidemic would cause
Were able to
dispose of lots of shares at market heights before the upcoming fall they saw.
Trading on
inside information for the rest of us mere mortals is a crime
Recovery of
ill gained profits and potential prison time
Cases in
China were known to be increasing every day
Hard to
imagine that with air travel hard not to believe cases would be coming our way
Seeing the
hockey stick increases hard to believe people would not assume a massive spread
But what if
the info received by the senators would involve need to shut down businesses that
the market would dread?
Right now
only appearance and timing which creates a strong suspicion that these four
Elected to
sell before the to be expected results caused market to crash through the floor
If we are to
ask and expect that all of us act together
Our leaders
must be on an even stronger tether
