You should bet on stuff you don't like. Then if you win it's like an insurance payout. Your prediction skills will make money for you, and you might create incentives for other people to reduce bad things.

Yeah that is good advice, hedge the bad times coming. I haven't patronized these betting sites because the one I liked, predictit, run by a couple universities, one in new zealand, was outlawed by the US while they gave the franchise to for profit companies. I am salty on this.

It was outlawed a while back, can't remember if it was the prez' first term or Biden's. I think the latter actually, biden was a fucking cunt.
