Substack has partnered with Polymarket specifically as discussed in great detail in multiple other newsletters. A not insignificant number of authors are migrating to ghost or beehiiv due to ethical objections.
Paraphrasing, because it’s been decades since I’ve read it, but a Rhett Butler line, in gone with the wind, said, “there were two times for making big money, slow money in the upbuilding of a country, and fast money in its destruction.“
If these are gambling sites then knowing ahead of time what’s going to happen and betting on it is cheating (in the legal sense) and is a crime. If they are “futures brokerages” then this is insider trading and is still a crime. So the issue which should shut it down is not the moral one of betting on when people will get killed, but the legal one of people gaming the system for profit.
Ironically, I did see at least one post from someone on one of those betting sites bitching that while the Ayatollah was arguably removed from power when he died, because it involved his death they’re refusing to pay out.
Operation EPSTEIN FURY is the CORRECT NAME for the Dman's recent "fake WAR". This name change by the PEOPLE clears things up as the why and what fore. In every face to face interaction with Trump must repeatedly refer to his I HAVE A FEELING WAR that now is called OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY. Just might save some lives if he quits this complete fools mission sooner than later.
Not only does it sound more professional, but it helps them evade the heavy taxes that get levied on legal gambling. Even though you can bet on the "future" of, say, the Hawks-Knicks game.
Kalshi already has Trump's idiot sons in their pocket IIRC. Watch for them to fight like wildcats, leveraging every bit of clout they can buy, against any attempt to tax them as bookies.
Online gambling is the scourge of our society. We’re feeding the ghouls in the regime making money off war and other things. Hell yeah shut it down. Stupidest decision ever to make it legal.
A handful of people are making billions from gambling. They'll never allow a reversal of the decision. Between healthcare and gambling they will suck every dollar out of mainstream society. Homelessness will soar.

If betting on death is against the rules on these sites, then how can betting on war, which kills people, be allowed?
Gambling should not be easy or promiscuous. Online gambling markets are a sure road to ruin.

More proof we need to TAX THE RICH!!!

I’d love to see some ballsy reporter say “Sir, do you think Operation Epstein Fury…sorry, I misspoke; I meant Epic Fury…”
Just want y'all to know that Chris Murphy is MY PERSONAL SENATOR. Yeah.
Both of my personal Senators are Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted.

I'd bet REAL money that the crypto wallet named Magamyman is Junior.
“Yesterday’s body-count lottery rounded out to a solid and sturdy thirty!”
And fuck the betting sites too.

With AI, war will be so much easier. It can run the prediction markets and fire the missiles.
Efficiency!
