"Society has legalized much of what the mafia used to do—gambling, drugs and pornography. America is now a post-vice society...Once largely confined to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, N.J., gambling is now legal in all but a handful of states." https://t.co/pHYRYbC9ck

@RamboVanHalen When gambling was legalized throughout the US, I suddenly started seeing these video gambling dens open up everywhere. They look grimy and I never see anyone in the parking lots. I've always assumed these are all money laundering operations.

@Robertamnesia @Rddedhd Certainly that interception call was absurd. But that's what happens when legalized gambling is everywhere.

@NYGeshikta @VladimirSuvor Actually, due to the harm online gambling is causing, he has changed his opinion on that. Same as how he used to think legalized Marijuana was fine until he saw the damage it was doing. Both of these things he saw as particularly harmful to young men. H…
