I am 56 yrs old and I have never known anyone who gambled, apart from a tiny number of people who bought a lottery ticket at the store once a month. I used to give money to a secretary at work who went around collecting donations for a state lottery ticket, because I didn’t want to be antisocial.

It sounds like a terrifying problem. Alcohol and drug users can only consume so much, which places a spending limit on addiction. But, gambling has no financial limit. States need to discourage gambling, rather than promote it. Gov should restrict gambling apps and internet access. I type this while being “anti-censorship.”
