I'm actually glad Burr sold his stock on Feb 13. That means he's not stupid enough to actually believe what he was saying about everything being under control. It's difficult to be the one person speaking up and not toeing the party line, that's just how herd mentality works.

There are some other people in government that seem to drink their own Koolaid and that worries me much more. People who drink their own Koolaid are dangerous because you can't even convince them to do what's good for themselves.

I made good money off the crash, it was very obviously coming if you watch the normal news. The reports about how infectious the disease is and how it's more serious than influenza or the cold were very obvious. Congress (well, and much of the rest of government as well) is in fact extremely corrupt, but I'm sure there are much more outrageous examples than this, where many people around the world were simply in denial and continuing to buy the bubble.
