Or a trip to the casino.
Two blogs back I mentioned that we were off to the casino this afternoon.
I was after the inexpensive green chili cheeseburger, which I got. The food was cheap and the sodas and drinks were Free!
After I thought about it a bit, it looked like a Bernie Sander's promised environment. You got free stuff, but you had to leave all your money with the house. Yeah, all taken care of, but no choice about what to spend it on. What could be better than that?
Free soda, cheap food, bright flashing lights, glitter, the smell of crashed dreams, the lure of a jackpot, a life changed, and unfulfilled hope (we can't forget the aroma of legal drugs that perfumed the air), all as a tax on folks that can't do math. Which, IMHO sums up the entire Bernie platform. Lots of promises, none of which can be provided in any rational manner. But, it is popular!
OH, but the restrooms were very nice and all the "state" employees looked happy.
HA...did you leave more behind than you took?
ReplyDeleteThe best part about casinos are the bathrooms... They're always so extravagant. Although the Pai gow tables are a close second.
ReplyDeleteI dropped $10.25. But drink $14 worth of Diet Cokes. Father emptied his wallet. Amount unknown. Marion was somewhere in the middle
