Wouldn’t $1T be close to 4% of US GDP?



Yes, but it says "mostly from Americans", so I cut it in half, then halved again just to be conservative. The argument holds at 2% and 4% as well as it does at 1%.


the fundamental reality is that money itself is a construct, and all of the values attached to goods a services are arbitrary, so there is no basis to diferentiate beween scams, and entertainment

it's all pay per view, and any dissastisfaction could fall under buyers remorse gambling is perfectly legal....as long as it gets taxed I have never had any account with apple, yet a charge to my credit card from apple appeared , I disputed it, but my bank refused to stop payment, and instead issued me a "credit", rather than go after apple, where as, anyone like me doing the same, would be a "scammer" and be prosecuted this impossible breach of law therefor is absolute proof of the complete falsity of our financial system. some are designated "scammers" others are empowered to take and I am personaly happy to live with that, and do what I can to protect my own tiny patch, from the marauding grabbers and muckers
