And where is the public uproar about this? I only hear crickets.
There are laws against insider trading not only in general but also specifically for Congressmen. Also, there have been (failed) bills to raise the federal minimum wage, including an attempt to add it into the stimulus bill in 2021 as a $15 Minimum Wage.
People like to ask "WhY iS noBOdY DoInG SoMEtHInG?!" while completely ignoring that one party consistently is trying but we never give them enough seats in the senate to actually do it.
