<p>the chain leading back to fiduciary duty is a pretty reliable signal, despite not being codified<p>> But in any event; the sitting US president certainly has a “fiduciary duty” and responsibility to all Americans; whatever he’s doing now is not that.<p>it's debatable which is why there's no mechanism allowing courts to shut it down immediately, a big part of the issue is that the information is also released to the public and the short window of time between privileged and public access hasn't been tested this way before</p>

<p>> nonpublic information<p>the crux will lie here, the information <i>is</i> made public, and access is only restricted temporarily (possibly seconds)... this may be enough to circumvent the law as written<p>it's not clear at all legally speaking</p>

<p>it is true, look it up — the brother in law works because there's breach of duty <i>in the chain</i> ... in the truth social case there's no breach of duty if the president is the one shifting the market without a direct link in the chain.<p>Companies aren't saying "hey we want you to manipulate the market for us" — the president is just outright manipulating it, telling people he knows ahead of time, and reaping the profits that way. There's no fiduciary duty involved at all, so it won't be considered insider trading... you don't even have to believe me, this is literally how it's playing out...<p>This situation is completely untested by the courts.</p>

<p>Insider trading requires breach of duty, if you don't have fiduciary duty with who you're trading against it's not insider trading. The required chain in the link is someone <i>inside</i> a contractual agreement providing information.<p>It's right in your own link, the filing-agent employee was convicted because he stole information he was contractually obligated to protect. Remove that obligation and there's no case. Truth Social owns the posts and is selling them with the source's blessing, nobody's stealing anything.<p>As much as I hate to say it, what they're doing with Truth social is very likely legal. The president does not have any contractual financial obligation to these companies, if he posts "everyone sell Intel, I'm going to regulate out of existence" to a group of people who paid him for this post early... there's no breach of contract anywhere.</p>

<p>The messed up part is that it's not even technically insider trading as long as they release the same information publicly shortly after... so they're not actually breaking any laws. So much of the way the US government has operated is based on some shared standard of moral sense that the current administration lacks completely.</p>

<p>some definitely does linger and most consumer kitchen hoods are not strong enough, you can get a pm2.5 meter and find out yourself... in my experience a couple hours<p>the craziest thing is no hood at all, if you cook once a day that stuff lingers all day unless you open a bunch of windows</p>

<p>This makes the false assumption that all the money given to the poor go back into high margin goods that the rich profit from? it ignores competition, ignores productivity gains by a lesser impoverished population, ignores the impact on small businesses...<p>there are all sorts of losses inherent to poverty that shouldn't be discounted, like the inability to save via bulk purchasing, transportation, high cost credit, preventative spending, time losses...<p>in theory eliminating the poor by literally giving them money could have an impact that makes society better for <i>everyone</i>... it's very reductive to assume there's just one big knob that the rich can turn to get it all back</p>
