If wealth was distributed equitably, everyone should have a net worth of a couple million by the end of their working life (the requirement for being able to actually retire)
My working class (white) grandparents were able to afford a cabin in the hills, and their whole family (stay at home mom and children) spent every summer there. Grandpa was afforded fridays off every week throughout the summer to drive out and enjoy each long weekend with his family.
I dont know if everyone should have a private cabin, but the idealistic summers of yore arent accesible to any working class family anymore.
Terrorists are when people do 0.01% of what israel has done but they are brown
Providing evacuations is an admission that the strikes are not so precise and everyone in lebanon is in danger
I cant believe that the federal government wont implement mandatory free school breakfast and lunch. Tie it to highway funding or something idc
The gay agenda. They are leaking it into the gatorade supply to unpenis the players. They want to turn baseball stadiums into massive drag queen storytime centers

Lets ship them more bombs so they do even more genocide and increase their shame level
Well, i guess israel can call off the ground invasion now, right? This means they dont need to bomb lebanon anymore right?
I know, i was rooting for those o’s
And the sheer money in favor of keeping it legalized. It would be difficult to overturn
If there arent beefcakes is it a world worth saving?
Libs will tell you only Harris can save trans people, when trans people are having their rights taken away left and right in 25/50 states, while Biden has been in office.
I fully expect trans rights as well as Kamala’s public positions on trans rights to shift rightward after she potentially wins, similarly to the current Biden/Harris position on immigration. Maybe in small ways, like “we can have trans rights, AND we can have integrity in womens sports” and shit like that but it would still be an awful overall shift.
For me there should be no abolition, but what has happened is a few predatory companies given free rein to exploit vulnerable people. There were offshore bookies and stuff before, but the level of exploitation (through advertising on mainstream sports networks, not to mention online ads) is unreal and definitely created this problem.
I think the chartered flights and massive construction projects are probably a bit worse.
You gotta remember they, they dont just run and throw balls. Sometimes they kick or hit the balls. And most importantly, they all go shower together afterwards with their beefy sweaty shiny bodies
I also saw this. I wonder how much the legal gambling also just opened up pandoras box. I think that a lot of people, especially whales, end up on offshore sites anyways because of better odds and less overall rake. And of course there are also underground sportsbooks still for the biggest players, like Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter who got caught gambling millions of stolen money this spring.
And also, even in CA there are “fantasy games” (tickpick, underdog, even jake paul is affiliated with one of them) and there are “social gambling” sites that use the “sweepstakes” loophole, such as fliff sportsbook and chumba casino. These ones, you pay money for a “fun currency” and you also get “sweeps cash” that is basically a premium currency on their site that can be gambled for real cash. But even the off shore sites are pretty heavily advertised on social media, such as stake and bovada.
Regardless of the actual mechanisms of gambling that are available in your state, the prevalence of the advertising is nauseating. Draftkings/mgm/fanduel ads are all over sports stadiums. Beyond that though, some channels, especially ESPN, show tons of actual odds during their broadcast alongside an ad for their own platform, espnbet. The massive influx of gambling money is tainting sports overall.
Im glad my favorite sports franchise has yet to take any gambling ads, but still when they have a game on ESPN i have to put up with the odds bullshit, in addition to everything else that is total garbage about that channel.
Also, players themselves are being harassed on the field and online by people blaming them for a bet that didnt hit. Some players even received cash app requests to pay back a bet that they ruined.
I dont think it will be banned in mosr states, but congress should have the power to at least curb the advertising specifically, because that should fall under interstate commerce.
I live in CA, a state that still hosts a lottery, another form of expooitative gambling that should be banned or severely restricted. No need to have slot machines on paper at every gas station and convenience store.
Every family deserves vacation. In america, we reduced it to a stressful 3-day annual event, spending all of their discretionary income at disney
