Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
Let's be crystal clear about what's happening here. The government is protecting a revenue source (the lottery). The whole thing about schools and churches is a way to achieve that goal. Any government lottery official reading this would not be happy with me, but although I am a big supporter of the lottery, I am not a shill for the lottery. First they tried banning skill games. That did not work, so they are now trying to limit where they can be played to the point of banning them for a

Not to beat a very dead horse...but how exactly do these ny government pricks test their machines? If the same keeps hitting it's obviously not working randomly and fairly...yet you ny government @ssholes keep putting out these results that are obviously f#cked.

No disagreement from me that the government needs to regulate all forms of gambling in the state. 35% seems monumentally excessive however. That's a case of trying to protect the lottery, rather than a logical fee. So I agree on the regulation, but I think the fee should be smaller. (Incidentally I think they take too large of a cut on the lottery too, so you can see where my mind is at on these things.)

NY is the only state that expects everyone to pay higher taxes while delivering zero in return. Worst streets in the country and despite all the money nyl rakes in... they can't get any random ny government employee to hit a button on their thoroughly test fraudulent ping pong ball machine when it's time.

So gambling with the lottery is OK, but gambling with a skill game is not? Many times I have seen people scratch games at the counter, buy more, scratch more, buy more, etc. I don't see any distinction between that and pressing buttons on a screen repeatedly. Seeing a distinction between those two things is where I think it turns from a logical debate into a debate on personal choices and of opinion. That's where I draw the line. I don't like arbitrarily preventing people from making choices in

Powerball lottery winner Edwin Castro's $25.5 million mansion nearly crushed by landslideReply
When the media, either through fires or mudslides shows these homes built precariously close to disaster it is no wonder insurance won't cover them. Had to chuckle when Marvisi said the government should cover the cost of home repair/debris removal. Fat chance, maybe your billionaire neighbor Castro could pay for it. As far as I've seen the city will clear debris only from public roads, not private property. Too bad so sad you're not entitled to one red cent Marvisi. OTOH Oregon lo
