A lot of us are coming to terms with "tier-1" venture firms like a16z tolerating corruption and ethics violations to support financial deregulation (crypto, prediction markets) and AI deregulation

Polymarket is even running ragebait ads[1] about Trump's corruption, while his son (profiting from the corruption) sits on the board

The word you are looking for is "greed", and it is ripping apart the moral fabric of this country

All regulation does is centralize the power to a few big players, which are corrupted themselves, and then they get little slaps on the wrist whenever they're caught by being fined 0.01% of their annual profits and then bailed out when they royally fuck up.
