I made this point with government employment. The Right assumes government work is useless and a drag but people blowing money on gambling is great because it's private! Really moving the societal ball forward!
Historically, the right was not a fan of gambling. But then the guy Reagan appointed to be schoolmarm was discovered to a have a gambling problem, and libertarian crank brain is part of MAGA.
There’s the reason for economically disenfranchised right there. For most of us betting or an occasional lottery ticket is a bit of fun. For addicts and their families it’s a disaster.
Geez slots are the most mindless shit imaginable. No skill, no luck, just repeatedly tapping to see if the algorithm is ready to dispense currency. Makes sports betting seem positively thoughtful in comparison.
And online slots, often run out of Malta by VERY dodgy companies, are very much a ‘you will lose’. I’ve seen reports of people in my country who have had big wins, but are still fighting to actually withdraw the cash.
You see, the US economy recovering post-pandemic at a pace faster than any other developed country left bored American men with too much time and money on their hands no choice but to become degenerate gamblers seeking cheap thrills and easy money.
I'm very much a "sports thing; not my problem" guy but it does not seem good that internet gambling and scammers seem to be two industries that are absolutely thriving as businesses that make stuff are about to get crushed by tariffs.
I keep saying this dude - millions of Americans need a nanny state telling them what to do. They can’t make proper decisions on their own. Maybe if we rebrand it to the daddy state they’ll go for
It since daddy issues are the reason they love trump.
An ugly 78 year old toddler doesn't want anything from Santa for Christmas because he already has what he wants, unlimited power to: rake in money, get his revenge and retribution, make orders with the stroke of a pen, freedom from the rule of law and judicial system, & free rein over cruelty.
