Gambling needs to simply be made illegal
I don’t care what your arguments are gambling needs to be made illegal
I think it’s fair for it to be legal, but only in specific locations and contexts. I think small scale gambling between friends and coworkers is fine. I think well regulated casinos are bad but serve as a deterrent to underground criminal gambling. I think having legal gambling through the internet and on your phone, advertised everywhere is a serious problem.
Prohibition of vices doesn’t work, it just pushes it into organized crime. I want harm reduction more than purity
And then there are those of us for whom gambling is not a need. And I think it’s problematic to regard any unnecessary activity, especially one that’s a known focus for self-destructively compulsive behavior, as a need.
Heroin’s a pressing need too, when you’re addicted.
