Jay-Z joins efforts to open casino in Times square

[Drakes2ndCousin]

This is the billionaire grift game. Claim you’re doing it to create “economic opportunity” and the “community” or in Jayzs case “for the culture” when really it’s just a plain ol’ opportunistic money grab

Sports betting and the rise of casinos are dangers to society imo.

Atlantic City needs to reinvent itself fast cause casinos coming to nyc and dc is not going to make their situation any better.

NJ should look to make AC another east coast all around city.

They invested billions, built brand new casinos. AC was a peak when people didn’t fly as much. They now have to compete with Vegas, the Caribbean, Europe and the whole world for people’s discretionary funds. And now they’re about to lose the advantage of NY not having a casino?

I don’t se AC ever being a desirable destination again

Then so is the illegal gambling spots people get robbed in and the dice games people get shot at. Illegal gambling, numbers, all that been prevalent.

What's the crime looking like over there anyways?

And would this hurt or help the black community in the long-run?

What does Times Square have to do with black people?

All those “Bitcoin Academy” fees going to a good cause

What does Times Square have to do with black people?

NYC is almost 24% black. I'm thinking of what the casino's affect could have on the city as a whole.

 

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

Will probably result in more traffic congestion, accelerated gentrification, and the re-implementation of Stop-and-Frisk to remove the remaining black NYers.

You really thought you was getting that 100 dap post response with this smart dumb nikka comment here

Atlantic city has the same vibe as the old Las Vegas...

They would have to clean the surrounding areas something serious

It can't compete if it wanted to...

Absolutely terrible. The ease with which people can blow their money is not even at it's apex yet and it's bad now. Robinhood and all the other trading apps, access to forums and social media with people encouraging you to try and get rich fast with no actual track record.

Gambling at least used to be niche. If you were into it heavy, you really were the only one doing it. The average person didn't know odds or why anything was significant. Now everyone can do it right from their phone with no hoops or hurdles and feel like it's normal. And those who get addicted..well we have a hotline here(right below our poster encouraging gambling) that you can call just in case.

Overrated but his hustle can’t be disrespected

His hustle is being the celebrity face of other people’s business ventures.

That’s it?

Dealer —> MC —> Label Owner —> Brand Owner —> CEO —> Owning Masters —> Investor —> Billionaire

You’re kinda downplaying the drive of a dude with just a high school education (on paper).

That’s my point.

It ain’t any more dangerous than getting in your car going for a drive

Alot of people against gambling be holding up the line at the convenience store everyday buying lotto tickets, not realizing that is exactly the same thing.
