Is it a net benefit for society for folks to lose out on all their assets and money for the sake of gambling?
This is generational wealth that gets lost in gambling. It is the responsibility of a strong society to prevent scams, and to protect people from very damaging forms of manipulation.

- wussboy 3y agoFor real? Because when a fool is parted from his money he and those who depend on him starve to death, and that, dear friend, is the part a strong society should be concerned about.
- xapata 3y agoUniversal basic income might cleanly solve that problem. Might, because the addict might spend the weekly income on the addiction instead of food and shelter.
