We as Dems need to stop this nonsense. Profiting if war and insider trading is already illegal in the US. Chris is either uninformed or arguing in bad faith because of a pet project. Regulated exchanges can’t offer these markets - which is good because we don’t want them. US based ones like Kalshi and Robinhood: * Can’t have war based markets * Have to screen for and go after insiders * Are beholden to CFTC oversight These offshore exchanges are also breaking US law when they have US related markets, advertise to Americans or let Americans use their platform. Trump gutted the CFTC enforcement division and that’s why sketchy offshore ones with insider trading are thriving. We could easily make funding laws strengthening the CFTC, and not try and ban financial instruments that exist on Wall Street as complex commodity hedges. This populist all or nothing nanny-state stuff is what drove so many away from the Democratic Party and left-wing populism. While a new generation of progressives have shown you can have nuanced policy discussions, including on tech and finance. I can only assume people like Chris are doing this to take up the Warren-esque mantle, because there is no way they can be repeatedly blind to policy nuance.(Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth))
