I hadn't even considered that possibility. 🤬

War and arson are subjects of gambling now. What’s next? Betting on school shootings? What a sad, sick country.

Call me crazy, but there shouldn't be a financial incentive to burn down a town.

by that logic we should ban guns and cars because they can both be used to kill people

Wow this is sickening

Survivors?? Are you trying to find the smallest possible constituency as pushback against kalshi?

Hmmm. I’ll allow it. Next issue.

Don Jr.❤️’s it/profits

Late stage capitalism: Creating an incentive for arson because a moral hazard shouldn’t opportunities to profit from someone else’s suffering.

How bout we just use a little sense here?

Are... Are they independently inventing the concept of insurance?

Next wager on Kalshi: If the entire town burns down, will OpenAI purchase the land and redevelop it into a massive data center campus? (Yeah, I think I see the morel issue!)

Might even have to rethink calling them “wildfires” in any traditional sense then presumably Pacific Palisades 👀

More proof that we have lost our way. SMH.

I am so sick of this ish. If it will be cloudy or sunny is the only things allowed to be bet on anymore. This is so dangerous.

the demise of .... final swirl around the toilet .... the reason my brow furrows ... last gasp no longer figurative ... ... ...

They're right about the risk...

Hell some of em would do it bets or not!

We are a sick people

Yup the folks doing it are awful scum so it’s unsurprising to see.

Ludicrous! Betting on wether your neighbour will loose is house or life should be illegal. Wildfires are not an organized sporting event.

you don’t have to frame it that way - as “some say”. it absolutely is reprehensible and does increase arson risk. factual

We live in the stupidest of all timelines.

Turns out "I might be right" has become an asset class. Even uncertainty has found a business model, regardless of the underlying humanity.

This might be peak degenerate gambling

JFC Will the beauty of this country ever bloom again?

Insanity. Government has to stop this IMMEDIATELY.

Yes, arsonists are a concern. But I worry even more about ppl in positions of power, such as regulators, and utility CEOs who decide whether or not to have the sparking electricity boxes carefully inspected. There have always been depraved grifters eager to profit from the misery of others

Has someone who lost her mother in a tragic fire, I find this morally reprehensible. For goodness sake.

Unregulated greed.

Maybe it’s time to regulate these predatory prediction companies.

Hmmm. Place bet. Burn down data center. Get paid. Repeat.

@friend-computer.bsky.social

Yep. Doing it alone you would almost certainly get caught, but idiots might still try. But if organized crime wanted to cash in, they might be able to get away with it...

And still no regulation.
