Good on CA. The "moral decline" in the US is distressing to say the least. I don't consider myself conservative on many issues, at all, but I never would have guessed that we'd be doing mainstream advertising for prediction markets, having slot machines in all the laundromats and even full-on slots arcades as a stand-alone business (not to mention all the vape shops, chewing tobacco advertisements at the gas pump etc).

In 2026 we all know this stuff is bad for you, and we'd previously shunned the use and outright banned the advertisement of it - why are we opening the gates so that the next generations can get hooked after we'd somewhat successfully beat it back??
