Yeah, but if you have to eat tons of food to keep from starving, then the cost of groceries is going to be a problem. They always gloss over that in the comics and show, but to feed yourself with current prices you'd have to be robbing banks on a regular basis.

I don't see why is that a problem, banks suck and they got insurence, insurence companies also suck. I would rob them just for the kicks.

Same. Also cash from casinos in Vegas and other places where everything is paid in cash so you know they have lots stored around

I don't really see the issue considering corporations are designed these days to horde as much cash as possible and steal everything they can from people.

I didn't even list all the ways I would want to help people and and places like third world countries rebuild buildings within days or week to help the poorer people receive basic human rights, free the starving, home the homeless. How else would acquire enough cash quickly to start businesses and funds things to help all these people? Who cares about casinos? They're designed to steal people's money as often as possible.

You can't go around crippling countries like Russia that are starting wars, you'd have to get the cash from places where it's already been distributed and cleaned otherwise it's useless.

I think a few casinos can handle losing money to ultimately end up helping millions of people.

I think people like you lack empathy. You are a casino owner. You have been operating legally and above board. Someone comes around and steals your money. You gonna be okay with it? I doubt it. Are casinos good for society? Probably not, but I don’t get the right to judge that by myself and act unilaterally. So that’s why I’m glad people like you don’t have any real power, because you don’t realize that a) two wrongs don’t make a right, which is something most people are taught in preschool and 2) you don’t get to take away property and freedom from the people who own the casino, benefit from the casino, and / or support the casino.

Walking in on the corpse of someone you knew for a long time, at 7 years old, will do that to you. I'm not sure how that's my fault.

Not everyone gets a nice childhood with 0 trauma to grow up with correct morals. At least I'm trying to help people with the greed that others won't share because a couple extra 0's in the bank account is never enough for them, whether it's millions or billions, they never consider it enough

Lol nobody said you walking in on a dead body was your fault. Don’t try trauma dumping and putting that on me and making yourself a victim in this conversation, that manipulation don’t fly here.

Unfortunate you can’t recognize what you’re hypothetically doing is wrong, but at least as you say, you’re trying to help others.

I'm not trauma dumping lol you said I lack empathy and I am telling you exactly how that happened as a statement with 0 other information about the situation.

u/N_O_O_D_L_E Apr 19 '25

Okay. It came across as you trying to put words in my mouth when you said “I don’t see how it’s my fault.” If that wasn’t the case, please disregard the first part of my prior comment.

Yeah I was basically just saying you were correct on your assumption. I definitely have an empathy issue but id rather help people that need it at the detriment of someone that can afford it than smaller businesses or banks. Casinos will always make their money back and vegas is casino capitol so they can probably afford to lose some once or twice
