No shit you dumbfucks, prediction markets incentivize a fuck load of illegal shit and corruption and should be banned

Even if it were all above board, it’s just gambling and should be heavily restricted just as all other forms of betting.

I’m against gambling, but at least with slot machines and poker tables there isn’t a cash incentive to go light the forest on fire.

The fact that the US has turned literally everything into something you can gamble on really shows how much of a failure of a society the US truly is.
The social contract has been dead for 50 years and yet people younger than fifty still out there acting like nothings wrong, and all you need to do is “get a better job” and everything will be fine.
Man I’m not sure getting a better job is gonna help me escape climate change exacerbated wildfires, nor the gambling markets that incentivize arson.

This shit makes me particularly upset as the current Washington State fires were caused by an arsonist.
10,000 acres burning and only 13% contained.
