...I don't remember a time when D and B wasn't one of those child casinos pretending to be an arcade. All chance ticket and gacha machines, prize wheels. no real arcade cabinets, maybe 1 pinball machine. It is essentially a shitty indoor carnival game alley.

What if we found a website to be on turnout in the 2024 election? Then we bet turnout will be below whatever pays 100:1. Then we work to convince people not to vote. Turns $1,000 into $100,000.
