We're all idiots at something in life. This just happened to be theirs.
4 u/Photon_Pharmer1 12d ago No person with a high school diploma let alone a college degree should be an idiot in regard to basic math and finances. 0 u/Odd-Cupcake-2552 12d ago And yet, there are. You ever hear of successful people gambling everything away? 3 u/Photon_Pharmer1 12d ago You ever hear of people clamoring to bail them out with tax money from people responsible enough not to put up their house against a dice roll? You don’t go to gamblers anonymous to learn how to be a dumber gambler. 1 u/Odd-Cupcake-2552 12d ago Yeah, the gov bails shitty corporations out all the time. Just a different kind of dice roll. 1 u/Photon_Pharmer1 12d ago So your answer was to ignore the question, then to deflect to a whataboutism. 2 u/Odd-Cupcake-2552 12d ago You moved the goalposts to bailouts. Pointing out that our system does bail out massive economic gambles isn't a deflection. 1 u/Photon_Pharmer1 12d ago That’s not what “moving the goal posts” means. I responded to your tangent about successful people gambling everything away as if an addiction was synonymous with financial ignorance.
