“It’s honestly been eye opening (in a bad way) to see how special interests work in our system” says the Head of Politics at Kalshi, which pays Donald Trump Jr. to sit on its advisory board and has spent over a million in lobbying over the past ~year. The government has just filed a lawsuit to intervene to protect Kalshi from several state regulators.
@molly0xfff ugh 🙄 Tribal gaming is heavily heavily regulated and these dipshits aren't
and yes multiple sovereign governments can sue your ass
together, simultaneously or serially
this is America!
@sarae @molly0xfff I'm personally also more sympathetic to allowing tribes to make money and take care of their nation however they can, since there is such a long and sordid history of using every dirty trick in the book, and inventing a few new ones, to destroy tribal economies and make their people destitute.
If letting them fleece money from idiots who can't do math helps make them whole then I'm OK with it
@raven667 @molly0xfff yeah, admittedly I'm biased but I feel like it's only fair if Tribes get white people drunk and take stuff from them
especially given that they're completely transparent about what they're doing
casino money has done a lot of good work in a lot of rural communities, including my own
