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.

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.

    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.

The stock market is explicitly both.
