About this sermon
A US appeals court is reviewing whether it's going to allow a bet start-up company, Kalshi, to take bets on elections. Several lawmakers are worried about election integrity. Kalshi means everything in Arabic and if you go to the company's website you can wager on the price of gas, whether it's going to rain in NYC this month or even whether NASA will land on the moon before 2027. But now, the company wants to bet on US election outcomes. That decision is now in the hands of a federal appeals court, after a lower court struck down a decision prohibiting the company from taking those bets. Senator Ron Johnson says, "I don't think this has been a good trend in society where you just open up gambling, made available online, so I'm not particularly supportive of the fact that it winds up being the wild wild west when it comes to elections as well." With the explosion of legal online gambling, some things have remained off limits, like betting on the outcomes of US elections, but betting on US elections is widespread through European web sites. Many of them currently give Vice President Kamala Harris a slight lead over former President Donald Trump.
