Kill the media.
Kill government schools.

Nothing changes until things change.
Change everything.

Gambling scandals at CNN? Has this predictive market set odds on that yet?

She’s not a billionaire, not even on paper. You’re confusing the stock paper face value with actual money. She doesnt even own the company, only part of it, and that only because Mansour did it and she hitched her wagon to his.

You think a 29 year old ballerina in any way knows how to drive computer-based betting markets? The man drove the company, the woman pretends to. Think Bezos and his wife.

Any female “billionaire” is suspect. As soon as the one claiming to become a biotech billionaire claimed to invent genetic technology I publicly said she was lying. She was, and she’s in jail. Kylie Jenner never reached a billion in actual net worth no matter what Forbes screams. It is media hype, not real.

There may actually be no self made female billionaires at all.

I can imagine living in The Truman Show complete with script and directors. Too late to regret making a vice a major source of revenue.

This is HUGE conflict of interest. With the media, they could influence certain outcomes.

We already have fake media polls influencing opinions, so a little donor cash into these prediction markets should create another venue for that.

There was just a big scandal with betting and the sports channel. This doesn’t seem very smart.

I wonder if the maf is behind this?

Circumstantial evidence implies Jake Tapper bet BIG on the J5 Bomber being a “white man”...

CNN partnering with a gambling app. So is the NFL. What could go wrong?

Yeah, that gambling ad at the bottom of NFL broadcasts while the scandal was ongoing seemed surreal.

I’ll put up a dollar that Joe Biden will have assumed room temperature by the end of 2026 and $2 that no painting by Hunter Biden will hang in the Louvre.

"Kalshi was founded in 2018 by Tarek Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara. When Tarek, an Algerian-born quant whiz, met Luana, a Brazilian financial analyst, in college, the two bonded over something unusual, which is a shared obsession with uncertainty.

Years later, that obsession turned into Kalshi, that claims to be the first and only federally regulated prediction market in the US, where people legally trade on real-world events like elections, interest rates, inflation reports, and even the Oscars. "

It’s not much different than buying and selling stock options.
