They were not even talking about California specifically though? Just about data centers in general across the US.

That's the point. just/ those almond growers use tens of times more water than every single data center combined.

Also nice whataboutism.

Even if "whataboutism" was a thing, which it isn't, we're literally talking about water usage. Pointing out that every single data center in the entire country uses 1/10th or less of the water of JUST california's obscenely wasteful almond growers isn't "whataboutism", it's literally the topic at hand. Wasteful water usage.

You're skipping the giant forty billion pound pink elephant in the room: Boys are staggeringly overdiagnosed by a toxic and abusive school system as a way to justify drugging them into compliance. Give kids recess and reasonable expectations for work (and homework) and you'll see diagnosis rates plummet.

Why are we bothering to regulate something that can't be reasonably practically regulated? Open betting on anything and everything, but people need to have been sufficiently uninformed to have made the bet "fair"?

It's like banning knowing what you're talking about. We do it for businesses because there are fundamental economic mechanics that come from collectivized investment and market price discovery, and the fairness of information release has legally prescribed mechanics (e.g., quarterly reports).

What utility does Kalshi provide to the economy? What's the social and/or economic value? What are the fair mechanics for information availability?

Your link proves what I said. America sends billions in no-strings cash to the Arab states that use it to kill and radicalize Americans. What Israel gets is "store credit" to US defense manufacturers who operate US factories that employ US workers. And unlike with the Arab states it's a bilateral deal that America profits from enormously on every single level.

The Arabs get billions in cash they use to bomb Israel, Raytheon gets paid to make interceptors to shoot those down, Israel gets bombed and blamed by useful idiots like you. Qatar, Russia, China, and Iran thank you for your service.
