Why is it a bad idea? The market is so damned corrupt right now that something has to be done.

This would actually only be a small first step.

That's similar to how we framed the ACA at the time

You are right, but I think it's still a half-assed approach to the problem. I suspect if it were to pass the net effect would be making wealth management a bit more complex, that's all.

I dunno that much about blind trusts. I think those who run them have to do so as a fiduciary, but I would wager there's still ways to make the pile expand even if you don't know the exact composition of the pile... if you're a lawmaker, anyways.

Is there a word for workers with no access to ownership of the modes of production?

It is just a dog and pony show -

Sen. Josh Hawley introduces PELOSI Act

Josh: "Look America Democrats are out to do inside trading and here is the biggest offender smeared all over the name of the bill.

And oh look I am not just a useless chicken that runs like a coward in was ruled by my fellow GOP as not an attack on the capitol.

Come look at this shiny I am waiving at the American people look join me in calling Democrats bad!!! Independent voters I will do literally anything to fool you to vote for our side."
