Curbing America's Gambling Problem
Calling out prediction markets for what they are: rigged extraction machines.
Welcome to the podcast Organized Money. You can listen to today’s episode on Apple on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Today on Organized Money, a dispatch from Minnesota, one of the most exciting states in terms of regulating corporate power.
Recently Minnesota passed a bipartisan bill banning prediction markets in the state, within a day they were being sued to block the legislation. On the show today we have Minnesota State Representative Emma Greenman, who introduced the house bill, to discuss it, her work, and what state bodies can do in the face of a negligent federal government.
They also discuss her work on money in politics, junk fees, and the effect the ICE raids of last winter had on business in Minneapolis, and why small businesses are essential to the spirit of a city in the grip of illegal police action.
Listen via Apple or Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
We also provide transcripts and video for every episode. Here is last week’s episode.
