Here here jgarbuz. Casinos were additive to the economy when there were very very few. Now post saturation of casinos everywhere they are extractive to local communities, asmost of the gamblers come from the local populace.
Hence, gamblers anonymous, AA, spousal abuse programs are all chock-a-block with local folks in these communities. As to looking out for their shareholders, per Bronson, Wynn & Trump have stifffed their legal creditors-the bond holders, while stock holders rolled the dice and lost.
MEMO: for those who like to play Video Poker, don't expect much of a payoff from any of th machines in PA. in other words, if you like to do a little gambling and you're doing it in PA, play at th tables. th payout regulations of th machines in PA. is nothing like Nevada.

Casinos produce NOTHING but misery, except for a few jobs based on taking candy from suckers and redistributing it to the owners and investors and mobsters. Okay Casinos can bring in dollars from tourists, but once casinos become ubiquitous, they cancel each other out. Ultimately they only spread misery amongst the hopeless masses.
Skip is the first person I think I've ever heard call Christie "fantastic"!

Wynn vs. Trump - Battle of the Dirtbags. Revitalization of Atlantic City - yeah, that's what Wynn and Trump are dedicated to. Brian, you're funny sometimes.
