Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi explicitly prey upon vulnerable people for what is essentially just a combination of gambling and bribery. Prediction markets should be made illegal and forced to shut down at risk of legal consequence, or at least regulated as much as other methods of gambling are or should be. In no world should a casino be more regulated than a platform that allows the President of the United States and those closest to him to use insider information to profit off of military outcomes they already knew were happening at the expense of the common man.
