State Lotteries

Many states in our delightful Union have hatched lotteries for their more clueless residents. These states have decided to prey on their constituents by getting them to buy into a casino that lays out worse odds than you or I getting attacked by a shark whilst being struck by lightning.

So, in essence, your elected representatives are asking you to throw your money away. More precisely, throw it AT THEM, and we all know what happens to it after they get their grubby hands on it.

We curmudgeons watch you enthusiastically piss your money away. We weep. (Actually, we fume because you hold up the line at the Quicky Mart). Your elected representatives are literally hoping you are idiots. There is no way around it: who else would just throw money away? They even mount advertisements that essentially lie to you by suggesting a return is likely.

Gamble away! Bear in mind, your government is encouraging you to be foolish with your money.

Think about it.
