I hear you, but I truly think the middle class hates this **** as much as you think they should. We in the middle class have been so beaten down, and it’s just a few loudmouths or sellouts who fill the space by falsely giving the impression that stuff like this is inevitable or that they are just responding to demand. The downside is that integrity of the game is at stake, but the upside is hey, a 14-yr-old kid can gamble away his family’s savings and hoover money back to the wealthy. Win-win,right? In my mind, it really is as simple and stupid as people like Manfred seeing an opportunity to enrich himself and his patrons at the expense of rubes like us. No ethics, no self reflection whatsoever. White collar smash-n-grab, nothing more. For now I will set aside my critique of the two party / one party political system in this country that enables this.
Happy Friday! 🙂
