And what was interesting about that particular post is that a bunch of conservative people also said, I don't agree with AOC on literally anything, but I agree with her here.

So there does seem to be a groundswell of support to reining these companies in, not just the prediction markets, but also DraftKings.

and FanDuel and this culture that America has developed in recent years of gambling on sports and everything else.

So we're seeing prediction markets get more in the hot seat, but who knows whether anything will happen, as you said earlier.

it's going to be an uphill climb because they still enjoy support from the top echelons of the Trump administration.

Miami is the new San Francisco.

That is the conclusion drawn by economist Jed Kolko after new census data released yesterday showed people are leaving Vice City like it was SF during COVID.

In the year through last June, 114,000 people left the Miami area for other parts of the country, the highest out migration rate of all large American metros.

But Miami isn't alone.

A number of the largest U.S.

metropolitan areas are shrinking, the census revealed, largely the result of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

New immigrants often come to large cities where there are existing networks and plentiful jobs.

Without that influx, these urban areas are having trouble holding on to their populations, which sustain their economies.

Los Angeles is another city that's losing people.

Last year through June, the LA region gained 38,500 people in net immigration, but lost a whole lot more.

131,000 to other American cities.

San Diego County's population also fell by about 5,300 people and New York City shrank for the first time in three years.

This is the most comprehensive view so far on how the immigration curbs are impacting the country's demographics.

From a previous census release, we already knew that the US population in total grew by a measly 0.5%.

The data out yesterday drilled down into the county and metro level to reveal which areas were gaining people and which are shrinking.
