I can't tell if you're being facetious or not, but honestly I can't remember the order of the characters either; it is the computer-language rendition of a barred equals sign, and it is used on Languish quite a bit to mean "does not equal."

I wasn't being facetious.  However, on re-reading your post I see I did not understand it.  Why way does the causality run between revolving door and outsized sector?

Any particular measures you're not skeptical of?

Capital regulation.

If a more radical approach would be desired then require all financial companies to operate through partnerships, as was traditionally done.  That would help tame excessive risk-taking.
:hmm: I'll go with that.

Since they are measuring fundraising I guess it's to be expected to see well-off Zip codes at the top the list.

My former district seems to have gotten confused.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Although my interest is more in financial regulation as one means of changing the way the national wealth is distributed, rather than in maintaining the integrity of American high finance system as an end in itself.

I paid off my Jeep, and my credit score dropped 24 points two months later. 

No, smarmy cockfuck douchebags on Wall Street trading imaginary dollars are only one piece of the problem. The whole system needs to be rebuilt, preferably from rubble, and that's Bigger Than Bernietm

10025 = Columbia University and all the other schools in the area. Fertile ground for Sanders. I mean, #2 for Sanders is Ithaca...

I lived in 10026, incidentally.

Sure but number one has no schools. Full of minorities, gays and business folk. After all, I was all 3. :lol:

San Francisco is prime Bernie territory.

You don't care for Pelosi much either, IIRC.

Bernie supporters are defiant!

After Hillary's wins in the South, they said "Just wait - the progressive states are coming up." Then Bernie lost in IL, Florida, Missoura, and Virginia.

Now they say "Just wait - the LIBERAL west is coming up." And so they bank their hopes on the west coast supporting the Bernie.

They need to fall back and throw their support to her imperial highness, Hillaria I.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

The Bernie supporters are so fanatical I am worried they will abandon the side of truth and righteousness when the general election comes. We will need every Fireblade to help us in Arkansas.
