    None of the objectives were met.

    We tried so hard and still were unable to stop any opening, cause any closure or push the legislative changes we wanted (limiting the amount of gambling houses that could be opened). They just opened as many houses as they liked.

    My lesson was to not follow anything blindly even if it was said by people I respect. Always analyze by myself and be skeptical of everything.

      But do you think it’s possible you contributed to a vibe or attitude amongst your peers that these things were not that cool? Or had otherwise indirect influence?

      I’ve picketed businesses before and people completely avoid going anywhere near you. Even after we are gone, there is a bad taste on that business.

      If it had been accepted with no opposition, do you think it would have been the same in the end?

      Always analyze by myself and be skeptical of everything.

      You’re saying all this with hindsight. Given the information that was (or would have been if you’d looked for it) available at the time, could you really have anticipated the outcome?

      Gambling online is a hidden problem. Idk gambling is insane, I’m happy I don’t have the money for it.
