Those that are running the world have decided that they want us to die with nothing, and the new objective is to strip every penny from every citizen. So they saddle middle class workers with a lifetime of college loan debt, and they continue it with overwhelming advertising convincing everyone that they have to own whatever new consumer crap that is being pumped out by China.
And now they’ve added gambling to our lives, featuring ads showing young men having a great time winning, Winning, WINNING! They never show ads of some guy who is about to explain to his wife that he just gambled away their rent money.
They want your money, ALL of it, and gambling is just the stupidest way to lose it. You might as well just hand it to them willingly.
