If they bet that $65 million on blackjack 4 times they could easily raise $260 million.

Conservatives like to act like if no one wants to operate in a place there would be a company takind advantage of that niche. Instead, they show up and when they realize they can’t make as much there they ship all that money out to more profitable areas like we see here.

And the most hit areas by this are rural conservative ones. Not sure how to get them to figure this shit out.
