Claims and accusations of insider trading against former House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have been ongoing, but there's no
definitive proof that laws were broken. Here's a breakdown of the situation:
- Allegations of Insider Trading: Nancy Pelosi has been accused of
public. That is insider trading, and people like Ivan Boesky and
Michael Milken were jailed for it.
Try that.

I was the NDM guy 20 years ago at Medical Mutual of Ohio. Before IBM bought
them. We used to pay 20k a year for support. IBM raised it to 100k. So
management dropped support and we went unsupported for 10 years.

The money you guys are quoting might be a necessity in areas like California,
NY, and other major metropolitan areas. If the candidate can work from home in
an area where the cost of living is much lower, 100k would provide the same
standard of living as 200k in NY. Where I live, I’m quite well

IBM stock hits another new high today. $273.
So, if you'd invested $10K in IBM stock in early 1993 and reinvested all
dividends, you'd have roughly between $600K and $700K
today.
Or, you could have believed the naysayers who predicted IBM and the mainframe’s
days were ending by Y2K.

Laying off food inspectors, tax auditors, veteran department employees, health
workers, scientists, weather forecasters, FEMA employees, etc. doesn’t seem to
be smart. Perhaps eliminating Tesla subsidies and taxing the wealthy properly
would help with the debt.

Worked at GM subsidiary Packard Electric in the mid 80’s. Back then if the
mainframe was down, it costs Packard 200k per hour. And it was absolutely true.
Thousands of people getting paid top manufacturing dollars twiddling their

If the mainframe was the least secured, you would hear about banks getting
