Yeah, the vibe of this thread is so bizarre... just a bunch of ranting about how badly and desperately people want the government to harshly punish and prohibit the vices they dislike, while undoubtedly allowing the ones they enjoy to proliferate. It's as if people today genuinely want their liberal countries to turn into authoritarian states like China, which are going to tell their citizens they only get to buy one six-pack of beer a week, or they can only play video games for 2 hours each day, and they can't eat the food they want to eat because it's unhealthy. Or, I imagine, via the more appropriate managed democracy sort of worldview in which we (the highly educated) know the lowly masses simply can't control themselves and make rational decisions, so we ought to tax the fuck out of products or activities so it only becomes accessible to the responsible privileged people like ourselves... but remember, we're making these decisions for your own good :-)
Not to mention OP taking time to whine about Trump and turn what could have been an interesting thread into partisan garbage from both sides... the explosion of online gambling took place under Biden with, as far as I am aware, no significant push back. And it has permeated on a state level for many years now, including the Democrat run state I live in, NJ.
OP whine about Trump, when did you start riding his cock that hard? I only brought it up because we wont see a change in the next 4 years due to what I said in the original post which is relevant to gambelings continued rise, that's it. His son sits as an advisor and Trump partakes for profit, and thus, we can reasonably conclude it probably wont be reeld in to any significant degree, so what's it going to look like with another 4 years of growth. Where is it then? Is that unreasonable? Oh but he didn't talk about Biden. Fuck me didn't take you for one of those guys. Is he the President right now? Is Biden somehow still making decisions that will impact the future of gambling advertising?
That's not whining, I might have to put TI before your name TiJupe since I think its only you and TI and even took issue with that.
I'd also say the majority of people here are in simply agreement that a fool and his money can part ways and do whatever they please, almost everyone here agrees its action against the advertisers and those pushing to age brackets of a brain that's not close to finishing development, aka kids that they are banking on investing in manipulating so they become the future customer.
