I'm at a relative's watching some NBC show where a couple of early 20-somethings are giving people sports betting tips and it makes me sick to my stomach (hexbear.net)

These kids should be out getting too drunk and having fun with their friends, not giving people advice on how to lose money.

There are actually millions of young men out there who consider losing money on gambling to be fun.

You know it's funny, historically we would look upon a society riddled with disease, poverty, gambling, drug abuse, and suicide as unhealthy, but the neoliberal era has found markets in all of these so it's cool I guess.

I grew up kinda sheltered, but me and my friends all got into sports. Because... idk sports were fun to watch, especially our home teams? It wasn't until I got a job and into the real world that I realized the sheer number of sports "fans" out there who are into sports mostly just for the gambling (especially the NFL).
