You can play without Ronaldo, though? Who pays the 10k? Is it unsuspecting kids, or rich people who don't care?

It's not "teaching not to gamble by gambling", obviously. You have to talk with your kid, explain the methods of the gambling games, and stuff like that. I don't think shielding kids from everything bad in the world usua

"there are concerns" - what exactly does that mean? Scientists are concerned? Or parents? Or religious groups? My grandmother hat a toy Roulette table, we liked to play with it occasionally when we visited her. I don't have a

I wonder how solid the knowledge about this is? Are there actual studies showing a risk from "gambling games" at young age inducing gambling addiction? From your quotes, it sounds more like individual opinions that actual scientif

I have no strong opinions about kids gambling in real casinos. Again, where does the money come from? Are there any studies showing gambling addiction can develop from exposure during childhood? I think I might actually have played a few sl

Sure, but they will be confronted with that trick in their lives. Maybe they can learn that it is a waste of resources.

The idea of pocket money is usually that kids can spend it on what they want. That includes sweets. Although of course parents can say "no" - but that goes for virtual items, too. Teaching kids to gamble - I would see it as the op

Maybe there isn't really a problem with all of those games. To adults it seems ridiculous to spend money on virtual items, but to be honest, a lot of other things kids would spend their money on also seem ridiculous. If those games cos

Once his money has run out, he might have learned a valuable lesson. Also perhaps better than spending the money on sweets.

There are devices just for children available, presumably with limitations on the available content. I think they are popular with parents, too.

Where does the money come from, that the kids spend? Shouldn't it be the parents concern to limit the spending? While I despise many of the techniques used in modern games to make kids spend money, I also prefer them learning about the

My post makes zero sense? Are you sure you have thought things through? So how does a driver get clients without Uber? If they can get clients without Uber, why did they use Uber? How do clients know they can trust a driver? Taxi, OK - a ta

It doesn't matter how you call it - they will be unable to earn extra money by driving, that is the issue. If they relied on that money to make ends meet, they may not be happy anymore.

Maybe it is wrong to ask insurances to insure people with pre-existing conditions. Perhaps such cases should be considered charity or social help, and convered by the state? Just wondering if reframing the problem as such could help. I'

Why doesn't anybody do a startup providing health insurance to the uninsured? Are there too many regulations? Insurance is just a business, it seems to me.

Seems more of an issue with health insurance than with the Gig Economy, though. What is the reason insurance providers don't want to insure contractors?

"Ride-hailing drivers hailed the bill’s passage." - I wonder how happy they will be when their job simply goes away because of that bill. It's terribly misguided and anti-freedom. I think it is a problem if companies like Ube
