Apparently the economy is like, bad or whatever. But you wouldn’t know it if you examine the booming casino market, as evidenced by the long lines to fill out applications at the new Red Hawk casino going up in El Dorado Hills. I suppose you could see this as a good sign–even in these volatile times there is enough walkin around money walkin around to create 1,700 jobs in our area. But one would hope that we Californians might have learned a thing or two about money and risk over the last few weeks!

Are you kidding? The casinos are booming BECAUSE the economy is bad! People are resorting to get rich quick fantasies because they are afraid, and living on the edge. And that was the JOB line you were looking at.
People need jobs and a living wage, not another way to squander their money on false hope. The casino owners are the only ones who benefit, because there will always be desperate people to prey upon.

Nah- politicians are doing well too, because there will always be stupid, short sighted people to prey upon. But agreed that The People don’t need another way to squander their money on false hope.

Andrea: I guess you’re right and I was wrong. People do need a good way to earn money instead of risking what they have at a casino in the false hope of making more. One would hope that we Californians might have learned a thing or two about money and risk over the last few weeks! Wait where have I read that recently…
