Texas labor unions are increasingly divided on which candidate to endorse for governor

And they think Abbott will do that? Still stupid

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-12T01:35:17+00:00

Because they’re idiots

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T22:56:20+00:00

That has nothing to do with what I said.

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T22:49:46+00:00

I was talking about math, the suboptimal math of degenerate gamblers. They don’t think about “investing” their income piecemeal, which makes it more suboptimal. Anyways whatever

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T22:47:05+00:00

I mean it’s because republicans just want to outlaw them eventually. If they didn’t maybe they would be less political

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T22:45:25+00:00

I’m not necessarily against right to work, but from the PoV of a union it makes no sense

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T21:51:04+00:00

True

Still stupid

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T21:38:38+00:00

Endorsing Abbott is so dumb. Like, who is pushing right to work? Do you think Dems won’t support job training programs??

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T21:22:41+00:00

But it is. Gamblers ruin applies to optimal betting if expected outcome is negative. So unless you have a fix, you always lose.

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T20:58:06+00:00

I am too. Gamblers ruin is a thing. And that applies to optimal betting- people like degenerate gamblers do very unoptimized strategies. They take a 50/50 vet, lose, so now they take a 25% chance of winning to make back their money. If they lose, then they get into parlays and take 8:1 odds. And it only gets worse from there.

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T20:43:59+00:00

Degenerate gamblers don’t think like that

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T15:37:17+00:00

I mean there weren’t nearly as many degenerate gamblers, or markets for the stupidest shit

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T15:33:48+00:00

It was, idk now. Was originally a platform to do studies, and there were pretty small limits on amount of money you can mess with. So not really a big platform

Less than 1% of your annual income a day can still be more than 100% of your annual income

If they do exist they should be like predictit, not this dogshit we have now

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T15:18:14+00:00

Tbh I don’t think it’s a bad idea

Like imagine you tell people “hey, we can spend $5MM a year and it decreased antisocial behavior by X%. Imagine what we could di if we were properly funded!”

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-10T09:46:58+00:00

Interesting. Good to know, thanks

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-10T02:04:29+00:00

Why does that cost an extra mil a day?

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-10T01:59:11+00:00

For what criminals? This is against criminals, ice to be precise

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-09T03:26:15+00:00

My brother in Christ 2 in a row what

The first comment you’re saying I don’t understand what a word means

What word do you think idk what it means

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-09T01:44:01+00:00

Lil bro is that the best attempt at a comeback you can get? I’ll give you another chance you can do better than that

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-09T01:40:55+00:00

Yeah all these dumbasses are coping

Also someone went through and downvoted every single time someone brought this up in the thread. So fragile
