The Gambling Epidemic is So Much Worse Than You Think

There are two reasons people pour their money into gambling:

• they have no hope of materially improving their lives through work
• they are gambling addicts

Well stop playing gambling ads on tv every 4 seconds between drug ads. And stop allowing gambling companies to sponsor every single sporting event. Sports have just turned into an advertising agency for gambling companies.

US gambling addiction is ‘out of control’

Wanna bet?

Late stage capitalism runs on addiction.

Our entire economic/investment/retirement system is founded on gambling on a manipulated stock market, it's all built on a ponzi scheme where 93% the entire market is owned by the wealthiest 10% of society, with 62% of the US buying into it.

Everything else is muggles wrangling and conniving for literal scraps. It's a top down scam.

Eat the fucking rich.

The US economy is a literal scam, the people are exploited beyond belief.

Y'all just gonna let that one slide?

Any mode of online gambling/betting needs to be banned, at least in the US. So many people, like my father, cannot help themselves when it comes to gambling. Keep the gambling in the goddamn casino’s, so people have to drive there to throw their money away. With the online stuff, it’s as simple as opening a website or app.

This is so fucking shameful.

Who could have seen this coming?

America is out of control...

In Central Florida, the last Democratic stronghold in Florida, DeSatan has been removing duly elected politicians, and replacing them with his own hand-picked, unelected people. The media has not covered this political atrocity at all. It the biggest election fraud happening in the country, and it is literally unknown outside of Central Florida. Even the Central Florida media doesn't treat it as a coordinated attack on the Democrats, and the Florida Dems are such cowardly weenies, they aren't even defending themselves.

DeSatan wanted to get rid of the first, and only, Hispanic sheriff in Florida, so they arrested him for running protection for a massive $20 million dollar gambling operation.

The sheriff was an investor in an operation that had built three machine-based "casinos" in the region. One was right in the Sheriff's home town, right on the main drag through town, with giant plate glass windows exposing the brightly-lit machines to the street. They had registered the business with the state, and were doing everything in the open. There were dozens of these sort of operations going on all over the state. They didn't try to hide anything, they clearly thought it was legal.

So as I'm watching the breaking news coverage, listening to the talking heads gasp and clutch their pearls over the "massive illegal $20 million gambling operation," they took a commercial break, and cut to an ad for the Hard Rock Casino, the multi-BILLION dollar gambling operation just 45 minutes up the highway. So much for doing it to protect the public from the evils of gambling.

Oh, BTW, the only Hispanic Sheriff in Florida, re-elected by his constituents, was replaced by an unelected white guy with a couple of decades of anti-immigration experience, of course.

People need to slow down and enjoy life.

By all means keep punching nazis and holding signs, but do go for a walk, read and enjoy the birds every now and then, money isn't literally everything.

Literally everything in the US is either corruption or gambling (which is itself often a form of corruption). The stock market is explicitly both.

Its like roblox for adults!

Are we sure this is proper gambling addiction or just a bunch of desperately poor people correctly identifying that their only chance at getting a decent amount of money and therefore decent life is to take fucked up and slim-odds bets?
