#kalshi as with all #PredictionMarkets is In a regulatory loophole within an extremely heavily taxed and excessively regulated industry that is gambling no matter what anyone calls it. It is as old as humanity and has driven people to enslave their families and descendents in long ago times. Worse, there is nothing preventing cheating in prediction markets. Cheating, the only activity as old as gambling, with the same power to drive humans to extremes. So Kalshi presents the ability to gamble and cheat, and the loophole allows all of it in every state. So of course it is number 1 by a mile and will keep growing as long as society steps aside and lets these horrific base human weaknesses run roughshod over all and any logical, moral and decent challenge.
@LukeFarag@build_canada@HaterReport The irony of @build_canada social admin not able to take criticism when the starting point of the initiative is criticism of what’s not working well in the country. Soft.
@build_canada It's not, but it's cheating and unprofessional to use a Build Canada official communication channel for this kind of stuff if you want to be taken seriously.
@vali_nasr It’s a bull excuse. Tijuana is 50 mins away, same distance from Tehran to Ahvaz. When Perspolis has to play in Ahvaz they don’t need to stay overnight and do recovery there lol - they fly back same night and recover in Tehran.
@Realneo101 Bitch you don’t watch enough soccer because this is a common soccer/basketball celebration. It’s called “ice in my veins” and a “pistol” celebration. He combined the two. Ask ChatGPT.
@KySportsRadio Which responsible mother flies across the Atlantic in her 7th month for “vacation” to somewhere that also happens to have birthright and the world’s most powerful passport?
Left America in 2019. Since 2022, I’ve been going back 5–7 times a year. Quick thoughts during my first SF trip in a while:
The divergence between America and the rest of the world has now become impossible to ignore. America’s trifecta of: 1) innovation engine of commercially viable frontier tech; 2) unparalleled capital markets liquidity/maturity; and 3) increasingly productive top talent continue to pull ahead and is creating an explosion of productivity, innovation and wealth that simply isn't happening elsewhere at these speeds.
Flying back to Eurasia now feels like stepping into a time machine - with Developed nations stagnating, and Developing ones still trying to catch up.
@akshat_hk 100%. The whole "emerging markets" thing looks Bush league stuff compared to what's happening in the US. Staggering given law of large numbers.
