Just had a crazy thought. What if that's their plan for retaliation? What are they going to do, go toe to toe with the US military? Fucking suicide. Attack the assets of the real power in America. Cost the billionaires money and they'll go crying to trump to end the war.
Technically that would be 75% don't approve which is not the same. I'd bet a solid chunk of that 75 has no idea what's going on as long as it doesn't affect them. They'd be categorized as "neither approves nor disapproves". They're the worst.
Soooo where does the money come from? I haven't looked into it but I imagine they just have odds on events like this. How does this not bleed polymarket dry?

We're paying the last payment on my wife's car this month. We've been getting calls and emails from the dealership telling us what a prefect time it would be to upgrade. One night the gummies kicked in and I decided to reply to the clearly automated and canned email.

Got a call the next day from the dealership where they apologized... and then went right into a sales pitch.
