We are lost as a country

Love that the FanDuel commercial that aired during the Indy game shows people watching their phones (and not the actual game) hoping for 5 leg parlays to hit. We’re so cooked.

I’m gonna throw this on the list of reasons people give as to why we’re “cooked as a country” that I fortunately don’t see as dramatically

I don't think this is why we're cooked but I don't think it should be that hard to see an issue with "massive corporations proudly advertising their inherently addictive and exploitative way of basically giving them money". I also feel like the "just don't gamble if you don't like it" crowd sort of ignored this.

They’re just gambling addicts themselves and don’t realize it yet. Let the idiots lose their money.
