My son has cancer. Kalshi wants you to be able to bet on his medical future | Joshua Pederson

The predictions market is planning to allow betting on clinical trial results and regulatory decisions as our family fights for his survival My son is 12 years old. No matter how many Legos we get him, he will only build robotic mechs. He draws haunting pictures in pen and ink but refuses to take an art class. He was devastated to learn that Chuck E Cheese is phasing out its animatronics. His guidance counselor says he’s so kind, he’s really hard to say no to. He sneezes when he steps out into the sunlight. And he also has a very aggressive tumor growing inches below his heart. Further, if Kalshi has its way, you could soon be able to bet on health treatments that could be essential to his survival. Joshua Pederson is professor of humanities at Boston University and the author of Sin Sick: Moral Injury in War and Literature Continue reading…

Trump Fed chair’s inflation strategy: leave it to the market | Eduardo Porter

Kevin Warsh would rather stay out of the fray – and thus devalue the Fed’s credibility as an economic steward It must feel strange to argue that government action is inevitably counter-productive – illegitimate even – when the government is you. For the last half century, the Republican party has been comfortable with the contradiction. It’s framed in that clever quote from Ronald Reagan’s 1981 inaugural speech: “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” Solutions, in this view, are delivered by free, unencumbered markets.
