'Predatory gambling' has helped the lottery reach sky-high jackpot, critics say

God I fricking hate the lottery

>umm actchyually the lottery is good because the money goes back to the local government

Yeah and everyone buying tickets are either on social security or poorcel benefits so its just one bullshit cycle.

>"State lotteries are the most neglected example of systemic racism in the United States than any other issue or problem, I should say, in our country," said Les Bernal, the National Director for Stop Predatory Gambling, an advocacy nonprofit organization, in an interview with NPR

Oh shit the poors are doing racism against themselves now. Thanks minorities for choosing racism

All gambling is predatory by nature. Ofc “critics” are going to say bad stuff, but as long gambling companies keep paying their government dues and taxes nothing will change.

Lotteries are the least addictive forms of goombling as you have to wait a few days to have another go, as opposed to say slots where you can press the !slots121 button again in a few seconds to get that dopamine hit again.

Darn they may have convinced me to finally buy a ticket

the BIPOC suicide booth is racist against black people

I dunno, don’t use it then? Imo.

I don't understand. This was a problem so then we legalized it. Don't problems disappear when they're legalized? Maybe we have to try harder to normalize it too?

Really? Do you know who that is? Do you spend any time on the chans, or 8kun, or Gab, or Voat, or Groomercord/ Telegram/ Riot, or a wide variety of lessor known neo-Nazi hangouts?

I do.

But please, tell me all about these "pranks" and the "it's just a meme, bro"..
