Feels different somehow... Imagine the movies or a restaurant meal or even alcohol at a bar (if we all assume alcohol is bad and we'd be better off without it etc); there's a worker and an income on the other side of the tx... While in sports gambling there's a better also trying to have fun, no obvious benefit to society.
Anyway, I feel dirty even saying these things (subjective value, etc)
So, an automated restaurant would be less good because it required less labor?
This is sounding like some commie-ass nonsense.
It is, right. I take no responsibility for the commie shite I may or may be sputteringr on a random Friday evening
No, there's nothing socially beneficial about using more of people's time than is needed for a service.
I heard some version of this argument on EconTalk a long time ago and it instantly flipped my opinion about gambling as a pastime.
I still don't particularly enjoy gambling, but I don't think it's any more wasteful than leisure activities generally are.
