Are we going to bail out our kids who now seem to think gambling is investment?

My 20 something year old sons were mentioning how many of their friends are addicted. They said it started with some popular games that introduced a form of gambling in it. Now they are on the major sites losing big money.

You don't really believe that, do you? You're like the moms who believe little Jimmy isn't having sex because he's a good boy.

I can see his transactions in his checking and savings accounts so I know he isn’t spending his money on gambling.

You have no idea if that $25 spent at Safeway was chips and soda or a Visa gift card to top off his DraftKings account.

Really? I see what he brings home from the store. Do you live with blinders on?

Morality is the only thing worth legislating! Name one law that isn’t legislating morality.

Lots of laws. For example, basic laws about driving. We keep right except to pass. There is no morality involved here, and the law itself is arbitrary. We all need to drive on the same side of the road for safety, but there is nothing about the law that actually conveys morality or lack thereof. Similarly, the law requires that children in a certain age range must attend school. This is beneficial to society as a whole, but there is nothing particularly moral or immoral about choosing to send your child to school or not.

Kids def gamble more. My son is 20 and when he was home over the break he was telling about all the BS he is betting on. Thankfully he is using his own money. But he picked up that crap from other kids at his school. I can only compare to when I was his age. And I can say we did not not gamble to the same degree these kids are.

Some of your kids may be gambling too and you just don't know it.
