→Doug Casey interview
There's much more in the interview, but I would note that the nationwide explosion of legalized gambling - state lotteries, casinos. etc. - which used to be the purview of the [[mafia]], occurred in the [[inflation]]-riddled 1970s which was a hangover of the [[Vietnam war]]. And it's a disease that's still with us. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Abnormal is fine. Stupid isn't.]]</sup> 19:33, May 20, 2026 (EDT)

"if they’re especially ill-informed, they think they’re [[investment|investing]]" - sounds like [[User:Conservative]] with [[Forecasting]] & prediction markets rot.
