mb. that’s odd then you’d think the kind of business already hosting betting predictions on wars wouldn’t gaf about nuke predictions. maybe they’ll fire the exec that made the choice
I think it's actually maybe a bridge too far even for them - it reminds me of this scene in Bowling for Columbine where the brother of Oklahoma City bombing accomplice Terry Nichols reluctantly concedes that there should be some limits to the right to bear arms.
Apparently nuclear weapons are a constitutionally guaranteed right!
Isn’t the government already blatantly proven to be profiting from these? I remember something about a white house address ending abruptly because some israeli account bet thousands on it ending early or wtv. surprised actual nuclear war is a breaking point. i guess it’s true you can’t really grift if your country gets counternuked and you die horribly
