Ramsey is right here, and how our society deals with this is essential.
The core American balance is allowing people to risk a lot, but also not allowing scammers to prosper. It's a fine line.

@SpurgAnon Ramsey has always been about personal responsibility, so this is how he'd respond to it - simply that "hey, this seems like it can be fun, but it can cause a huge problem"

@sickburnbro he's barely right, he should have more vitriol for it but he doesnt because he's a boomer and therefore likely lives in a casino.
Gambling used to be a crime, then boomers became a thing.

@WhitestTemplar that's the part that is the fine line; you can conceive of stocks as gambling as well; so it's not so much as gambling per se that we have traditionally banned, but predatory behaviors.
I don't care if some dingbats go play some craps on the street - only inasmuch as it would erode support for preventing the dangerous predatory stuff.

@sickburnbro Most people are cattle tier and need to be told exactly what to do, including with their finances. All gambling should be banned, especially seeing as the people who benefit from gambling are mostly jews and Injuns.
