And remember that the rest of the world can (and does) travel to Cuba with few problems, so it's not like their government is suffering much from our sanctions.
Moreover, if we lifted the travel ban, many of these travelers from Europe and Canada would then be able to have layovers in the US, which brings in more revenue/jobs/etc. as well.

Re: Prediction Markets in the US & the CFTC — Making it all work (Part 2 of 5)

I have to say I agree with this post 100%, unlike your first part. Prediction markets have been interesting from an economic standpoint because, as you mention, of their uncanny ability to predict. However, you stated that they should fall under the jurisdiction of the CFTC. I wonder if this is strictly for moral purposes, or if you suggest its supervision might actually help prediction markets in their functions in some manner. I look forward to your future posts.
