All these athletes getting paid to be the faces of gambling sites should be ashamed of themselves. This will be a terrible look in a year or two, as Americans, especially young people, waste what little money they have on these sites that make the rich richer and everyone poorer.

Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer again?

What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.

It's important to know that if a billionaire loses 10% of their wealth, or 50%, or 90%, or even 99%. That they are still far richer than most people will ever be and it has zero negative effects on their life. I don't know why more people aren't demanding they get poorer.
