If you wanted to bet on the Super Bowl this past weekend, you had options. You may have bet with a friend. If you live in a state where it’s legal, you could have gone to a casino or used a casino’s app. Or, starting last year, you could have entered into an event contract using a Designated Contract Market regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This is the same legal structure you would use to buy derivatives on the prices of traditional commodities like wheat, coffee, or pork bellies, now applied to trades like whether the Patriots…

Trump called Hunter Hess, an Oregonian and member of the U.S. freestyle ski team team, a “real loser” in a Truth Social post. Trump said Hess “says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics. If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this.” That’s not what Hess,…

Notice that in January, AI only accounts for 7% of the 108,435 announced layoffs. For all of 2025, the share is only 4.5%.
