      It’s a fact, not some kind of defense of gambling. The US economy is only not in a recession by technicality, because of a few industries propping it up: gambling, healthcare, and data centers.

      Healthcare is real economic activity, everything else is fake and parasitic. But, once they fail things could unravel.
