I see two things here. The first is that I am surprised that there are a lot of states in the USA where gambling is not legalised. Gambling has its bad things, like alcohol for example, but it is more than proven that by prohibiting it you don't eliminate it, you leave it in the hands of mafias and you stop collecting taxes. And this brings me to the second part, that part of the taxes will be used to help the homeless seems to me to be a poor argument. What we have to do is to attack the root of the problem and try to avoid, or at least reduce the percentage of homeless people.

Then, as for the clothes that people may be wearing, I consider that a secondary issue.

It is exactly like this,true.They prohibited gambling where I live in 2019 and guess who took it in their hands offering it underground in the web and different physical locations controlled mostly by them,yes the bad people,the outlaws,criminal bands.The government has made it legal again starting from 2023 because of this,so this is true,any thing you prohibit it will be used even more but just under the radar,that is why many groups here call for legalizing marijuana,legalizing public houses and many other things because in here even public houses are forbidden.

I don't like a nation of sport gamblers as they would be in default debt really soon because no one would really work,all of them would have their mind in their betting  Grin.
