    It’s always the same answer.

    Why aren’t people having kids any more?

    Why are people going to bars anymore?

    Why don’t people want to work anymore?

    Because 8 lazy lucky fuckers own 50% of everything that we’ve built.

        Hell yes.

        Every year, we should take the richest person in the country and redistribute half their assets.

        Also, if you use unrealized assets as collateral for a loan, you should be taxed on the value of those assets.

      And the chips are one hundred percent on board with it. Wait until Vegas cops learn who really pays their bloated ass salaries and lawsuits.

        How much of the 40 fucking billion ICE dollars is going to end up civil lawsuits?

        I’d like it to be plenty, but we all know it’s mostly going to private equity firms that own prisons, food, and nazi guard corporations.

    I enjoy Vegas to some extent, but it isn’t worth the cost now. I can go on an international trip or to a classier city that isn’t in an ever heating desert.

    Gambling and shows are fun for a few days, but if I’m dropping thousands, I want to have real experiences, not some amusement park nonsense.

    Americans can’t afford Vegas, and foreigners who could won’t go until Trump and his GeStaPo is history.

    Gambling is also widespread enough now if that’s why you were going to Vegas, you don’t have to anymore. Even in NC we have a pretty sizable casino in Cherokee. And the shows in Vegas seem to really just be the same shit you could see in other big cities, or at least something equivalent.

    Just popping in to not talk about Vegas, but to remark that the meme format is adorable!

    You ain’t seen nothing yet. The policies of the ignorant, incompetent and fascists haven’t fully kicked in. It will get worse, much worse.

    Yea, no one asks “Why doesn’t anyone visit Vegas anymore”.

    1. Suckers will always go to Vegas

    2. We don’t care who does/doesn’t go to Vegas

    3. If Vegas disappeared tomorrow, we’d cheer

        When you throw on the “They Live” glasses, what you discover is that its just ads by the Las Vegas promotional department.

        But also, “Why doesn’t anyone want to go to the desert in the middle of a massive summer heat wave?” should maybe be self-explanatory.
