The way American capitalism has degraded into something so tawdry is bizarre. Between pretending "prediction markets" aren't gambling and the growth and growth of crypto, it's just an insane time we live in.
And **none** of this would've happened without elite buy-in. It's the elite institutions of our system who've said, "you know, let's just allow all this criminality because we benefit from it."
Really time the ruling class in America reacquaints itself with the guillotine.
