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
And the transition from one to the other is pretty seamless.
- they have insider information on the outcomes of world events
If you know something is certainly going to happen, there is no gamble.
There are other reasons as well, ie: people who live with ADHD which means they may suffer from lack of impulse control, etc.
That’s usually also (gambling) addiction
thats why gamblers are called degenerates
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.
I am so glad that I don’t have cable or watch tv. I never see these. All my content is streamed.
I’m sure those ads are also appearing on the ad-supported tiers of streaming platforms, unfortunately.
Too bad
There are a handful of times per year where we are streaming a live channel or watching cable TV at somebody else’s house because local_team being in the playoffs for in_season_sport.
It’s horrifying. Downright dystopioan.
I only hear pharmaceutical ads at other people’s houses
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.
US gambling addiction is ‘out of control’
Wanna bet?
Late stage capitalism runs on addiction.
Late stage capitalism CAUSES addiction. People who lose hope of ever achieving financial stability or success turn to get rich fast schemes or gambling. I can’t really blame them.

Y’all just gonna let that one slide?
The US economy is a literal scam, the people are exploited beyond belief.
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.
I don’t think it matters because america tends to drive people to bad habits because people aren’t able to live their authentic selves by design.
Our freedoms here are psycholically marketed illusion. No one is able to be who they could have been, who they’re supposed to be.
Yeah it’s like having a tap in every home with running liquor that you can’t disconnect.
Let’s start with Roblox and almost all mobile “free time” games.
Maybe you shouldn’t have welcomed Draft Kings with open arms?
Sports has suffered because of gambling droolers for too long.
Who could have seen this coming?
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.
Money solves money problems. Money is everything untill you have enough and after that having more of it makes hardly a difference. I can totally understand why a poor person wants to become rich. However, I don’t quite understand why an already rich person wants to become even richer.

It’s pathological
That term actually means something and this isn’t it.
Of, relating to, or manifesting behavior that is habitual, maladaptive, and compulsive.
Seems like a perfect use of the term to me. Unless you believe it’s some undefinable supernatural force. I think it’s an addiction just like hoarding anything else.
Ok, how am I wrong?
Agreed! This is why I suggested birds and reading lol. Two things the man hasn’t taken from us yet.
Literally everything in the US is either corruption or gambling (which is itself often a form of corruption). The stock market is explicitly both.
America is out of control…
The
Americaworld is out of control, IFTFY.
