    I legitimately do not get why people find casinos entertaining. Like even from the perspective of “I am willing to pay xyz dollars for the entertainment.”

    It’s not fucking entertaining. It’s boring as hell, even in fancy vegas casinos. Even if you are just trying to scam the casino for drinks, you are just sitting there pretending to gamble in exchange for some watered down cocktails. I can do that at home. Hell I can spend $100 on a nice fucking bottle of whiskey and drink the whole thing while watching reruns of “That 70s show” and it will be more entertaining than feeding slots.

    You can say the same thing about child tax credits with no means testing. The idea is that it benefits society in general for people to have kids, so we subsidize it. Same with higher education.

    The real crime of th student loan system though, is that the interest rates are ridiculous. I would be happy if the taxpayers just subsidized it to the extent that the loans were zero interest. Though obviously it would be far better to just guarantee free higher education instead of a convoluted system of loans.
