Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Want a ton of young voters to actually vote for once? Get the biggest social media people to post "I voted" stickers, and set it as the new Social Media currency. I hate that people need to be "sold" on surviving, but, it's 2027-ish, and we absolutely most sell them on survival.

Don't confuse "wealth" with "super-wealth". The wealthy already pay their fair share because their wealth generally comes from earnings. But the super-wealthy pay nothing because they earn very little on paper. They instead make money with their money — which isn't taxed because we only tax earnings
