Maybe the casino industry could start providing a couple lines of cocaine?

And here is a difference between the casino industry and the airline industry Bob21 (you made this comparison). Nobody becomes homeless from flying too much. Nobody can't pay the rent or buy groceries for their kids because they flew too much. And the reason this matter is because we pay for this. Taxpayers support these homeless that the casino industry creates. Taxpayers support the welfare families that the casino industry creates.
Kj, you’re actually making my point for me. That’s why casinos should be illegal. Or should I say that’s why casinos have been illegal for most of our country’s history. It’s for the exact point you’re making. To protect the weak members of our society, who will be harmed by casinos. Liberals call weak members of our society “addicted”. Btw, saying someone is “addicted” absolves them from personal responsibility for their actions.

Kj, if you believe strongly in what you wrote, then you should work on making casinos illegal. It makes no sense to blame an industry that was made legal by our government to do what they are intended to do. And what is that? To take money from people who enjoy playing negative EV games. Casinos are basically our government’s volunteer tax program.

Don’t blame casinos if you are upset with them. Blame our government for allowing them to exist. That’s been my point all along. I can tell most are still missing it. But nobody ever said APs are the sharpest tool in the tool shed. Lol.
