Modern gambling is so interwoven into American life (and dangerous), it deserves its own post. It's inescapable, and harder to understand and study. Sports betting, online casino gambling, and betting on prediction markets are common forms of modern gambling. This practice here is the most diabolical. It's estimated that a quarter of Americans are gambling everyday and 2.5 million people suffer from a severe gambling problem. B&M gambling shouldn't go without criticism. Just within the last 5 years the slots have significantly changed.

Gotta start 'em young. Ever heard of Labubus boxes or LOL Surprise! toys?
