MY INEVITABLE DEBT posted:lol what about it? an advertisement is going to turn a child into a gambler? like beer ads turn them into alcoholics? maybe not specifically OH NO KIDS SEEING TV ADS but gambling addiction is just as destructively devastating to lives as alcohol addiction so the states that are interested have a lot of ground to work on in that sense if they're gonna do this thing in other words i bet suicide and robbery rates will go up in states that go for it and insufficient help will be provided for the people who can't stop abusing themselves, just like everywhere else
