Critics call it gambling repackaged, while supporters argue it's financial trading. #tech #predictionmarkets https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/sports-gambling/super-bowl-gamblers-find-way-bans-thanks-prediction-markets-rcna255460?eickercrypto.com #crypto #blockchain

Chuckling at all the 'its-my-money' libertarian casino players who've been cheering for Trump greed.

Hope you enjoy the 10% drop in deductible losses. Mmm. Taste the MAGA.

WIST Quotations Has Moved!Apr 28, 2025

A quotation from Chamfort

Someone said to Donne, the English satirist, “Thunder against the sins, but spare the sinners.” “What,” he said, “damn the cards and pardon the card-sharps?”
 
[On disait au satirique anglais Donne: « Tonnez sur les vices, mais mĂ©nagez les vicieux. – Comment, dit-il, condamner les cartes, et pardonner aux escrocs? »]

Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-SĂ©bastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation PerfectionnĂ©e], Part 2 “Characters and Anecdotes [CaractĂšres et Anecdotes],” ¶ 721 (1795) [tr. Merwin (1969)]

Speaking of, #Capitalism IS #AntiDemocratic by default.

The only thing that matters to a #capitalist is capital - or their "fiduciary responsibility to their investors". They want to shirk their responsibility to #society in order to turn it into a den of depraved #gamblers.

Nothing, not #morals, not #ethics, not #solidarity, nor #unity shall stand in the way of junkie getting it's fix - and if #democracy stands in the way it must be dealt with as well.

#Capital is even above the #law.

#AP calling these #market euphoria-blinded #gamblers "investors" marks a new low in financial reporting. They are, indeed, "betting" not investing. Don't insult the profession.

Investors are #betting #Musk & #Tesla will make a fortune under #tRump even as threats mount
"this latest bet seems particularly risky. Musk says the true value of company lays in a future of Tesla robots, thousands of them possibly by the end of the year, & in unsupervised, #driverless vehicles"

Investors betting Musk and Tesla will make a fortune under Trump

For Elon Musk fans, it’s the half-trillion dollar bet. The stock market value of Tesla has surged by that much since Donald Trump’s election, and kept climbing last week even as the electric car maker reported disappointed financial results for last year. The president has promised to cut regulations that Tesla says hobbles its ability to innovate. But Trump has also vowed to end federal subsidies for EV buyers among other plans that would hurt Tesla's profits. That includes launching a trade war with China, Canada and Mexico. But investors are betting that Trump does more to help Tesla than damage it in the long run.
