You’re a bitter man, Doc. Can’t change it. Got to live with it until it corrects itself.
Remember that Jodie Foster movie about that crazy bush woman? “Taaa inna wiiin, taaa inna wiiin…”

I wonder which DC representative(s) and Senators take their 9-18 hot young college interns on their twice yearly “constitutency learning tour” to this trifecta of gambling casinos. You just know there’s that connection. It is a cousin or uncle or daddy in law running the thing ?
I wonder also about how the kickback scheme from the casino to the busing co works…maybe just show the bus ticket for the insta-chip rebate… probably there’s a special tax exemption for that added value both entities can write off dollar for dollar for encouraging friendly community relations – or it’s the muliti-culti Indian casino support and reparations thing.
How is it that government is always so intimately involved in gambling, especially when they banned their internet competition.

I googled the one bus company, yeah it should be called ” Gamblin’ Express “.
Why am I not surprised ? At first I thought it must be linked to some Federal crime investigation of gambling houses that don’t pay their taxes or something, and they were planning on reaping and overall profit fro this – then I snapped out of my delusion, and back to the candy store it’s all so fun Americana stupidity our Congress and our corrupt citiznry embrace.
I see one can pay 25 bucks for one bus trip, and get 20 bucks to spend at the casino destination for free. Pay 20 and get 18 gamblin funds back in another. Their pictures links are one arm bandits inside casinos.
So Homeland Security in this case means the bussing ceo bossman can GPS track his drivers to make sure they aren’t visiting hooker heaven or the burger joint while the customers dry up the fed tax fiat bonus and need the return trip. Everyone with a cellphone onbaord already has a tracking device authorities no doubt have simple access to in case of emergency. Broke joy rider #1-#59 calls 911, govey hookup asks for permission to pinpoint (if they even ask) and away we go – HS SWAT and ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIERS to the rescue…
I get it, the Islamicawackos think gambling is a big sin against you know who, so the ceo bussing bossman is acting in good faith … they can’t wait to hit that local gamblin’ express – forget the casino… buses are more terrifying and filled with infidels.

Of course this same point about local government foot the bill for local activities is even more telling when it comes to places like New York. New York keeps complaining that they can’t operate without all of this federal funds. Then why don’t they just ask some of the stuff there to go elsewhere. But no at that point these are incoming tax revenues. If these are tax revenues they can’t afford to lose then they should spend them on the structural support to support those things providing the taxes.
