Look, everyone loves to hate a politician making money off the market. It feels dirty. But banning all public officials from trading individual stocks is a lazy, blunt instrument that punishes thousands of honest people for the sins of a few bad apples. You're not solving corruption; you're just forcing it underground. What's next, banning them from owning real estate? Or crypto? The real problem is insider trading and conflicts of interest, and we already have laws against those. Enforce the damn laws instead of treating every elected official like a crook who can't be trusted with their own savings. That's the weak argument here.
