Seriously -- I can't be the only one noticing this trend.
OLG (our province lottery), BetMGM, Fanduel, PlayOjo, SportsBet, PointsBet, Draft Kings, Bet365... And these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head! 😬 I must see at least several gambling ads a day. There are two -- two!! -- billboards dedicated to BetMGM in my city alone! 🤦
Like... this isn't normal, right? 😅 lol in all my years of consuming media, I have never seen such an epidemic of encouraged gambling.
In fact, I'll be the first to note that this increase originally appeared shortly after the pandemic.
Isn't that kind of a strange thing for governments to do? advertise gambling to a majority of people who just experienced stressful financial situations?
The day that I realized that the government does not have the masses best interests at heart made it much easier to recognize the atrocities that are truly going on.
The government wants us all addicted and homeless.
The government does not give two shits about you. The government purposefully locked down countries and destroyed economies over the fucking flu -- yep, let's not fucking forget! 🤣 The government ostracized an entire demographic, took their jobs, froze their bank accounts for refusing to comply with their demands. In layman's terms, we call that 🎉 terrorism!~ 🎉
Now the government willingly chooses to shove gambling down your throat, hoping that you'll cave, where you will ultimately lose and end up calling shelters for vacancy.
When our government was handing out $2,000 bi-weekly cheques during the pandemic, a lot of people caved, gave in then, and spent the money unwisely. Do you know where a lot of those people are today? In tents. Do you know how I know this? Because that's how I ended up in one! 😀
So don't give in, because the government realized this outcome a long time ago.
(No, I haven't forgotten, and I will keep reminding people about the choices they made. There were people wishing death upon my family and I, my newborn daughter... over the fucking flu. You lay in that bed)
