Thanks Captain Obvious, but not everyone needs to be saved by you this day.
Believe it or not we're all well aware that casinos exist to generate revenue, like all other businesses that like to stay in operating status. They provide a "thrill", we pay money. Its tit for tat, why should anyone other than myself, decide how I spend my money. You can be reductive about near every product in existence and say its wasteful. Drinking beer is wasteful, spending money modding cars is wasteful, so on and so forth. How one chooses to spend their income should be their choice. Lots of people seem to have this ridiculous idea that if a casino opens in Ohio, all of the sudden everyones going to cash in their savings accounts and destroy their lives in the process like mindless cash-hemmorrhaging zombie slaves. That's just ludicrous, people suffering from such obsessive gambling desires, will only blow their money elsewhere, let them funnel it back into the state. Sure, casino owners probably aren't angels, but no one is. Grab your (insert whatever) bill, the CEO of that corporation is a greedy SOB too. As most of us would also be, given similar situations. They are simply providing a service.
