Re: Money over everything
SD in a perfect world corporations and consumers would follow through with a moral responsibility. I think you and I would disagree on how to best solve this. To me the United States government needs to up their game. You can't have a trade partner you call out but still agree to trade with and expect corporations to do the right thing. I commend some of the move Trump has done to bring corporate dollars and trade back to United States but we really need a lot more from the federal government to put pressure on corporations that due business with China. Call it a genocide tax then maybe American consumers and corporations will not want to be associated with that. From a natural resource perspective China needs us more than we need them the problem is they keep buying up our debt. They can always call bill due.

Re: Money over everything
Maryland ballots have Question 2 on it - expanding commercial sports betting to raise revenue for education.
For = raises money for schools, people are going to bet anyway via phones, Marylanders are driving an hour to Charleston W VA or Delaware to place bets while W va gets the tax money Cons = I cant help but think in some instances a dad somewhere will impulsively bet his family's monthly mortgage and lose then go into a downward spiral if its a 5 min drive. --------------------- Im torn. money for school is great .. but at what cost?

Re: Money over everything
MD already has casinos, I feel like it's only natural they allow sports betting too. The dad betting away his mortgage payment is probably a gambling addict too and just as likely to blow his mortgage payment at Horseshoe or the MGM National Harbor as is he is betting on games.

I think I fit into the category of people who may start betting more ... and then who knows. My brother bets a couple thousand a week and I put a couple bets through him a year. I have a strong addiction gene and habits to being with. Now on a typical Friday after work, I already stop by my dispensary and drop a hundred or so, stop by my expensive craft beer store and drop 60 or so, drop by jersey Mikes and drop 11 .. now I can drop by the sports gambling kiosk and drop a few hondo on teams some radio head said is a sure fire win. All on my way home to start a fire, make some pizzas and watch Despicable Me 3 with the fam. A fool and his money ... they just make it easier and easier (I only go to the dispensary once a month ...)
