Liquor stores are rarely sold as "jobs" projects. Nobody has stood up for tobacco in 20 years. "Pharma", by the way, is called "medicine" by most people and while there are certainly profits and they are often questionable, it's a whole 'nuther ballgame from a mathematically-disadvantageous statistical wager dressed up in gold chains and leather. The argument of the article is not gambling is bad it's there is little evidence that casinos are beneficial to local economies. flagamuffin is arguing that while you enjoy a casual game every now and then, the gambling industry does not make their profits from those who enjoy a casual game every now and then. Card counter.
