Iris Gorfinkel: Teen sports betting is skyrocketing. Why won’t the Ford government act?
Compared to lotteries, online wagering was 45 times more likely to result in problem gambling. Each lost wager raises desperation levels, trapping teens in a vicious cycle of chasing losses.

Say what you mean. Talk about what matters to you. Ask for what you actually want. Then keep doing that
Yeah. Wrote a whole book about it. We make issues salient in discourse through consistent effort. It’s an empirical fact but folks acts like political issues& issue attitudes are sprung from a “kitchen table” cabbage patch. We should argue for what we want. Again & again. Until it’s common sense.
the lesson from the right is not that their obsessions with trans volleyball, anti Haitian blood libel, or reversing the change in teen pregnancy rate are actually the well framed kitchen table issues of the volk but simply that political discourse becomes about things people say often and loudly
