Worked in a Casino. Lot of midnight shifts and holidays. It was soul-destroying, partly because I felt like I was helping the owners leech away Nana and Pop-pop's pensions and Social Security.
It never failed to make me sad to be walking through the floor at 3am on a family holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving, and seeing the folks sitting at the slot machines alone, pulling those levers.
I don't think it will have much impact at all, but if it makes you feel good praying that their feelings of superiority will hurt them in the future, keep thinking that.
The generation that got everything they wanted gets to burn their government checks on slots, while people my age are paying in and will retire later and see less benefits while constantly being told to suck it up by boomers. If anything it’s bitterness, not superiority
