I’m pretty down on how far the US has gone in terms of legalizing gambling, but if we’re going to have sports betting apps everywhere we should definitely have Kalshi which brings some potentially useful things for society to the table and not just betting.

PEAK OIL!
It's here.
No, for real this time.
