People do not see their mistakes. Career politicians even less.
But honestly speaking gambling is a stupidity and Germany bled billions after billions to offshore. So I am not wondering that nowadays states kill their gambling markets and monopolise the industry. WHO gambling cases were lost over a decade ago. By then was decided what is happening now. Globalisation has reversed and until the total economic collapse no one will realise how bad it is overall.
