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

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.

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 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.

Late stage capitalism runs on addiction.

There are other reasons as well, ie: people who live with ADHD which means they may suffer from lack of impulse control, etc.

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.

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.

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.

That's usually also (gambling) addiction

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.
