“What are the key elements of mobility out of poverty? Family structure. If you can keep a family unit together, you have a better shot of getting out of poverty than if you don’t. Two of the biggest factors shown to disrupt family structure are infidelity and financial problems.”
As a person who predicted the collapse of Detroit within 20 years of the casino openings in 1998, this article kind of hit home, and this is focusing on state run gambling, not casino gambling.
Why IS the state pushing for the destruction of families? Welfare for single mothers and lots of kids. Penalties for staying together. Inflation.

And then advertising to spend your hard-earned money on "quick riches" rather than save, work, and climb up slowly but surely.
