For a libertarian, Thiel certainly does love manipulating the government to his benefit.

In the past they’d have impeached a man for saying something like that in office.

Speculation and investment are not the same, anyway, nothing a little communism won‘t solve.

Not only are you cheating investors in the short term, which is bad enough, but in the long term you are destroying the ability to raise capital in your markets which will have far worse effects as new businesses fail. On the upside, downfall of capitalism, right?

Maybe im not as old as you, when would they have impeached a president for that? In my lifetime the only impeachment was clinton, and the fucking orange man.

Not trying to be an ass, honestly just curious.

Pre Trump when presidents weren’t allowed to enrich themselves I don’t think I ever heard one endorsing companies and daring to invest in them.

Well, they did enrich themselves, maybe not as blatantly as this current asshat. And yea none of em were ever impeached.
