No, no, no.
I trade crypto like a respectable degenerate.
No, no, not at all.
I use charts and graphs for my gambling.
I mean, trading.
It's called technical analysis, and it's totally not astrology for crypto bros.
Not gambling, Jordan.
Again, there's charts and graphs.
Yes.
So I wanted to do this because I think gambling should be legal because anytime you say something should be illegal, what you mean is state resources should be expended on putting people in prison for this, which I don't believe about gambling.
But that doesn't mean that I'm not critical of it.
I don't have to be uncritical of things just because I don't think there should be laws against them.
I think drugs should be legal.
But if a business was making billions of dollars door dashing crack to people, I don't think that legality shields them from criticism or prevents people from discussing the negative implications of quick and easy crack delivery.
There's also a secondary issue involved where it's like, do you want people who traffic in human misery having any kind of influence in your society?
I don't.
And I don't care if they're involved in voluntary commerce, if they're trafficking in human misery.
I don't want these people having any kind of voice in our society.
Yeah, and the fictional story you described at the beginning of the show is very real.
If I download FanDuel, I can be absolutely hammered and put my kid's college fund on a thousand to one shot.
