I'm someone who thinks corporations shouldn't be free to prey lawlessly on emotional weaknesses.

What business do you have telling everyone your personal experience justifies the horror others experience?

If you couldn't put down that $25, would you really not be able to find some other way to entertain yourself?

Making gambling illegal doesn’t make it just go away. My Grandfather used to bet on sports in 40s and 50s with a local bookie. The bookies even ran sweepstakes which resembled the modern day lotto which my great grandmother played every week.

People like to gamble we need it legalized with reasonable regulations.

What my big problem is that Wall St and the wider market seems to be trending to the least ethical companies (Kalshi, Polymarket, Bettr) are running unregulated gambling operations, providing 0 tax money to offset societal costs and are denying what they’re offering is gambling at all and even promising you can make money off it.
