$170 million in bets on the Iran ceasefire were recently placed on Polymarket.
Could some users make bets w/ insider info?
You'd think the government would more closely monitor this, but Trump is stifling regulation of these prediction markets.
His family has a stake in their success, of course.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
