      How about we ban prediction markets altogether? It’s not investing. It’s easily corruptible and it’s designed to take advantage of some people’s worst tendencies to leave them broke.

      Does this include elected officials? Otherwise, I’m not sure how effective it will be.

      A lot hangs on the definition of „federal employees“. Definitely the assistant to the deputy undersecretary of defense for blah blah. Not a park ranger in Yosemite.

      Maybe trading in stocks or having their own companies bid on government contracts too? Maybe disclosures and recusals?

      They have free speech to make as much money off of their federal position as they can! Grifting, short selling, using secret knowledge, all just perks of the job. /s

      Oh yea, cuz banning them from trading stocks has worked so well 🙄🙄🙄

      lol! Impress me with a proposal to f’ing enforce existing corruption laws and skip the hyperbole.

      So they’ll just give info to others or have a family member use them. Wealthy people always have options…

      Never mind about federal employees, there needs to be a law blocking presidents, cabinet members and all their family members and friends from betting on prediction markets.

      Needless to say, it will never happen as long as Trump is in power.

      Just asking, but aren’t the First Sons involved in one of these companies?

      Every single proposal is like what if we block one hole in a sieve instead of what if we make policy thoughtful so that there isn’t a sieve allowing everyone in government to be as corrupt as possible.

      I don’t imagine Congress would pass this, or Trump would sign it, but if it did somehow happen, I imagine Roberts would like to tell us about how gambling is protected speech.

      I still don’t understand why prediction markets are not banned. Its literally gambling
