    I love that all of this started when a couple of techbros started illegal fantasy football betting apps, made a shitload of money by further impoverishing the impoverished, then used their ill gotten gains to buy off legislators. Now i am sure they are billionaires, instead of what they deserve which is execution

    Uber basically proved you could operate any app outside the law with impunity. Shit rules.

      Yeah - the article says "for the dozen states, including Texas and California, where sports gambling is still illegal, the solution is simple: change nothing," but because of these apps, it's trivially easy for Californians to gamble on sports.
