Is there any value to state lottoes as a containment strategy? Like, letting people gamble via legal, approved channels weakening the black market and therefore the mob?
- rdtsc 1y agoI can see that as long as 100% of the profit goes to the education or other social causes. It's also telling how they advertise it: "you might have fun", "you'll get lucky", showing pictures of winners on TV and etc. They never following it up with a matching info about how people are fooling themselves and throwing their money away. Sometimes there is a blurb hidden in fine print "have problems gambling, call such and such a number" but that's always the fine print not the main message.
