    I think that if they narrow the bill to show ID for voting and take out the citizenship to register, it will get a lot more votes

    https://azmirror.com/briefs/in-unprecedented-move-arizona-files-criminal-charges-against-prediction-market-company-kalshi/ Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes filed criminal charges against the online prediction market company Kalshi, accusing it of operating an illegal gambling business in the state and flagrantly violating a state law barring wagering on elections. “Kalshi may brand itself as a ‘prediction market,’ but what it’s actually doing is running an illegal gambling operation and taking bets on Arizona elections, both of which violate Arizona law,” Mayes said in a press release announcing the charges. “No company gets to decide for itself which laws to follow.” Mayes’ case marks the first time a state has pursued criminal charges against the company. The 20-count criminal information filed in Maricopa County Superior Court claims Kalshi broke Arizona law prohibiting the operation of an unlicensed wagering business and similarly broke the law by allowing bets on Arizona elections. All of the alleged crimes are misdemeanors, and all are being leveled against the company, not its executives.

    @taiwan_girl Situation in Ruanda is pretty stable. Situation in Eastern Congo however is very volatile: president Tsishekedi tried to eliminate his predecessor Kabila, bit killed a French national who worked for the UN. The drone used during the attack appears to be US-made...

    Light can travel forever and still may never ever actually reach a certain point in space because space itself may expand faster than the speed of light.

    @Axtremus said: Gambling by another pseudo-intellectual name is still gambling. Regulate accordingly. Agree. Not sure how it could not be called gambling.
