I'm not a lawyer, so this is pretty baffling. States have the power to regulate gambling or ban it outright, so why not "prediction markets"? Alternately, if I rebrand some roulette tables as "prediction markets" can I now open a casino -- sorry, a trading forum -- anywhere?

Christopher WebbIT’S TIME FOR BLUE STATES TO FIGHT BACK. HARD. Why are we funding a federal government that openly punishes states for not voting for Trump? The Trump administration admitted in court it canceled nearly $8 billion in clean energy grants because the states didn’t vote for him. Blue states only.

The Big Red Button Principle is that there should always be an emergency cut-off switch to avert potential disaster. The problem is, we never seem to push it. We didn't push it with fossil fuels. We didn't push it with Trump. We aren't going to push it with AI either.
