    As much as I love poker, gambling shouldn’t be a legal business. It should only be something buddies do around a kitchen table. Casinos just exploit people with addictive personality.

      Its disgusting how they've legalized this completely parasitic industry. Lots of casinos in my area opened very early into covid and their parking lots were always packed.
