It's the Pareto principle. I fought like hell against a casino in my town.
80% of the profit comes from 20% of the people and the bulk is even less than that for the poor bastards caught up in gambling.
Just the other day one of our young housemates had to move out.
Why?
He went to live with his grandparents, because that 24 year old is 10k in gambling debts and can't afford rent and groceries.
Obviously, the capitalists won and I lost. There is a casino in Terrace, BC, Canada.
