Postal carriers too?

@Fukfacewillie I don't think being a postal carrier gives you the opportunity to make money by using financial information that was given to you solely because of your job.

@BlueMetalChick Oh, you said “public servants.” My bad.

@Fukfacewillie Oh you were thinking I meant like anyone in the public sector lol

That'd be kinda funny. You're like a maintenance worker for the subway train and that's considered too much of an insider for stocks lol

@BlueMetalChick Exactly! There are already laws against insider trading, but the real answer is good ol’ corruption.
