These gambling services need to fucking die. They are way too easy to con, influence or rig.

While we're at it, the stock market is also easy to con, influence, and rig if you're powerful enough.

Dude keeps trying to cash in on the next big thing but always fails. He’s never had an original idea and just lucked out with facebook, which was preceded by myspace anyway.

One you achieve a certain level of wealth, you can fail upwards forever, as long as you don't bet it all. A few million invested can generate a decent yearly wage for life. A few billion can generate tens of millions a year, even at the worst rates.

When you're at the Epstein classes level of wealth, you can lose billions without consequence.

It's impressive that after all these years and all those billions of dollars, Zuckerberg still gets up every morning and thinks, "How can I make the world an even worse place than I have already?"

Next up: Meta plans rural backyard wrestling league. Analysts expect a healthy side business selling whippits.

I feel that's gonna happen at some point if Trump lives long enough to win his next election.

They should open by taking bets on a fight to the death between musk and Zuckerberg.

Can't wait until everyone's Nana is getting bombarded by virtual slot machines on their feed of grandkid pictures.

So they're not satisfied with their service being addictive enough, they gotta try to ruin more lives.
