I'm shocked regulators didn't budge. Good.

  There must be something else going on. It's 2026. How in the world could a local government in the USA just... fail to let a corporation break the rules and do anything it wants? It defies belief.

    It's what happens when the people speak up and policy makers realize they can't sweep the potential PR blowback under the rug. Never let people say your voice doesn't matter. That's the one thing the Boomer generation was really good at that fell by the wayside over subsequent generations.

  I'm in Australia and in my experience gambling regulators don't budge. Other ones might not be as strong.

    This is the US. You can just throw a UFC party or something for Trump then you're good.

  I am also shocked. As a second tier citizen for being merely a human instead of a corporation I am used to having to put up collateral to get big loan deals. I am amazed that our betters are being held to the same standards. Maybe they forgot to pay a few million in lobbying to get the preferred treatment plan.
