Thriving online economy or thriving corporate microcosm? I don't think many economies are thriving. Polymarket is making a lot of money though.

This has been the past time of the elites for generations, this is the natural progression of it.

War profiteering should be more equitable right?

From what to what? It's always been about sports gambling, with war profiteering as a side-hustle.
