STIR traders are a dorky bunch but I wouldn't call them that
You should read this piece. Adam is right: the core theory behind the anti-ICE mobilization here in Minneapolis isn’t really a political ideology, but that neighbors are neighbors and must be protected.
Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.
Double take
Prediction mkt success is easier to eval because the events are discrete vs perpetually traded instruments in normal "mkt" contexts where the wiggles bake in a lot more assumptions about the future and more participants are expressing more diverse views. Prob more likely "wrong" in latter setup
Minimum 20x leverage requirements and bet sizing solves!
If victory lappers are saying prices shouldn't have moved, that's obviously wrong. If they're saying they overshot, that's fair. "Market discipline" w/r/t prediction mkts is just a fetish though.

It also implies that you can at least partially attribute what hacky media ppl say to their patrons. This is an assumption I have been reluctant to make in the past (again, potentially naive)
I will say the most surprising learning in the last 24hrs is how tight the integration was/is between those with their hands on the levers of power and those who I previously thought were just media people. Maybe I'm naive, but I was surprised by that.
It's likely it's just the same video that was posted on Twitter yesterday.
Also, given recent trends in federal law enforcement, why wasn't the move to immediately arrest all 3,000 people and sort it out in post?
Begin with the end in mind
Can't tell if you think that's too high or too low

/7 This administration, from top to bottom, is ABSOLUTELY capable of getting Maxwell to clear Trump and implicate Trump’s political enemies in exchange for some commutation or pardon of her sentence. If you say otherwise you’re a liar or a fool.

He's gonna pardon Ghislaine and she's gonna say under oath Michelle Obama did January 6th.
