      Converting this to decimal odds like a normal person:

      AI fake fools a politician who complains on TV: 1.5

      Political assassination anywhere in the world: 2.8

      Joe Biden dies: 2.5

      A VP becomes president: 4 (why is this less likely than Biden kicking the bucket?)

      Legal battle for whether Israel pledges trump free speech: 2

      Israel wins the legal battle: 5

      A fascist doesn’t become president: 1001

      Bitcoin’s price changes by $40,000: 3

      Retail real estate prices collapse: 4

      Retail real estate gets bailed out: 7

      Any once in a lifetime economic collapse: 3

      Any once in a lifetime weather event: 3

      US involvement in an African military conflict:4

        What I should have done for that VP becomes president is Trump wins and then dies for a big 500 odds payout alongside a sizeable Biden dies at any point this year for a 100 payout (which is on there)
