I recently invested a lot into gambling stocks because people are going to become more desperate and dependent on it in the years to come.

I appreciate putting the threatening quote right in the post. The first time I saw this posted it just mentioned death threats and then I read the article. I’d gotten halfway through it and the bad guys were still just asking, insistently but politely, to have the article changed.
