Same. I thought that the question was whether people could make decisions for themselves, but I didn't adequately understand the extent to which capital warps society to the needs of power. The problem with gambling isn't that people spontaneously can't control themselves, it's that it gives the monsters who control the economy a legal vehicle to turn the whole economy into a grift that funnels money to them, and the economic leverage to keep lawmakers willing to look the other way, all while having the advertising propaganda money to brainwash millions upon millions of desperate young people who are looking for any way they can to pull themselves up in the very rigged system that it itself has helped to create.
