    Literally what happens when you legalize gambling and then encourage hundreds of companies to run millions of Ads.

    As a reminder. This was Epstein’s idea, and he did this as a way of introducing kids to the modern economy.

      I think this is a pretty logical thought that would only be natural in a highly developed decentralised communication system connected to markets like the internet today. So no, this is not Epstein’s idea.

    I know the company that supports these betting companies, as I worked there for a few months.

    You come in, it’s all about being responsible, safe, making sure that gambling addiction is stopped, etc.

    Then you get into the meetings where everything is “do now, ask forgiveness later” and it’s just a fucked up culture

    Why rely on casinos when they already have devices they are addicted to that we can facilitate gambling on. Then they can gamble their lives away without leaving their chairs.

    It’s so gross.
