This doesn't explain a lot.
Alcoholism and gambling both fit the bill. Even for those, adequate counseling and social support don't exist, practically, in the US.
This is the infrastructure of society that bleeds when pressed, and many people could do with legal variants, or safe spaces to confront addiction.
- cameldrv 5y agoAlcohol and gambling are both heavily regulated. Gambling was illegal in almost all of the U.S. until about 50 years ago, and it has only recently become widespread. Alcohol was entirely banned for a number of years and even today there are counties where you can’t buy alcohol. Even where you can there are many restrictions on hours of sale, licensing, etc.
