Show notes

The gang breaks down Arizona’s lawsuit against prediction market platform Kalshi, which the state says is illegally operating as a gambling business by allowing bets on elections and sports. Kalshi argues its contracts are federally regulated financial products, setting up a broader fight over whether states can police prediction markets at all. Then they turn to what some are calling an “intimacy crisis,” as fewer Americans form relationships and loneliness rises despite humans being wired for connection. With dating apps, economic stress, and online culture all playing a role, they ask whether modern life is pulling people away from real relationships. **Chapters** 00:00:00 - Intro 00:11:12 - Prediction Markets 00:46:00 - Intimacy Crisis 01:14:42 - Emails 01:36:08 - Wrap-up --- Hosted on Acast.
