It wasn't that long ago that betting on every little thing going on was called gambling addiction. Now it's called "smart investing of your money" by the Silicon Valley techbro billionaires bankrolling all this shit. May we do a better job holding them liable for this mess than we did the Sacklers.

There is an argument to be made that once U.S. adversaries catch up, insider trading on 'how many children will die in elementary schools bombed in the war with Iran' will reflect valuable information flows that lead to fewer Iranian deaths.

If I was the Iranian intelligence service, I would build up sizable positions in every 'U.S. won't do X' Polymarket/Kalshi bet and then let the good folks in Hegseth's inner circle do my work for me.
