If you somehow caused some exchange to consistently lose money, I'm sure they'd cut you off.
If you regularly trade and constantly watch your stocks, then it's a casino.
If you buy some index funds and never look at them again until 10 years later, it's not a casino.
There's no clear delineation between an investment and a bet; it's a Venn diagram with a huge overlap. I don't think that means that there is any question about where on the Venn diagram sites like Kalshi and Polymarket belong.
If it was "that simple" everyone would be making money on the stock market, but its not.

Quick reminder that POTUS has power to strongly influence Bitcoin price [1]

Quick reminder that SpaceX gets most of its money from the US government [2]
To say nothing of oil and other commodities affected by war [3]
In short, an insider is literally anyone who knows what the president is going to say tomorrow.

Joe Rogan isn't "right," he openly supports recreational drug use, gay rights, women's right to abortion, universal healthcare, has endorsed Bernie Sanders and James Talarico, etc.
He's not a leftist, but that doesn't make him "right wing."
Ironically this is a "bad faith shtick." You made a claim that has no basis in reality and failed to back it up. Charlie Kirk was many thing, but a neo-Nazi he was not.
He has said multiple times Omarchy is his distro he designed for himself with his personal defaults. He's not masquerading anything, and what he's doing is being done for the public good, he's sharing his creation open and freely. He even documents how you can change those defaults to better fit you.
>Values of DHH and his businesses on one side and Linux community on the other are not very well aligned, so it will inevitably cause these kind of tensions.
You speak for yourself and possibly a small group of loud terminally online people. You do not speak for "the Linux community" as a whole. Omarchy users part of the Linux community. You do not get to define the community's values.
The American left is not center. Open borders, DEI/wokeism, etc. is not a center party platform. Do you have any study that states otherwise?
No one should pay taxes on "wealth growth" because it's not realized. They paid income taxes on the shares once they received them, and will pay capital gains taxes once they sell them.
>In fact, to make them pay as much tax as their employees, there should be a 2% wealth tax, not 1%. Hence, a “mere 1%” is in fact a very generous proposal by leftists politicians and economists, as it would still mean the wealthy only get half the rate of working people.
They paid the same tax as their employees once they received the stocks. They will pay the same capital gains taxes as their employees once they sell.
“The French researcher in question was in possession of confidential information on his electronic device from Los Alamos National Laboratory — in violation of a nondisclosure agreement — something he admitted to taking without permission and attempted to conceal,”

> “Each country is free to regulate their borders,” Mr. Baptiste acknowledged. But he said the scientist’s case was “extraordinarily atypical” and a “subject of concern.”
I'm inclined to believe that they think this is atypical. How did he "attempt to conceal" it?
