Maybe cuz they don’t wanna spend time dealing with everybody on their own distros. The amount of time saved overall by not having to worry about that shit probably pays off in the classroom.

Do you have any evidence that suggests this does anything to reduce gambling in problem individuals? It doesn't seem plausible that somebody will stop gambling just because of this saving plan, they will just gamble directly. People aren't stupid, putting $25 in a savings accounts doesn't approach the pyschological activation of buying a scratch off. Going to the corner store, using a coin to reveal your numbers, it's all part of the process. You've basically boiled all of it down to a simple sterile button. And anybody with basic financial literacy will realize that you have lower interest rates in order to prob up this gambling scheme, and so it makes more sense to go with a traditional savings institution.

Can you explain what is actually revolutionary or interesting about this? As somebody with a degree in neuroscience, this sounds like buzzword bullshit. You aren’t hijacking anything. You are just offering a gamble in place of standard interest rates.

Exactly. And wouldn’t ya know it, having a firearm with you while you are drunk is already illegal. Almost like it’s for a reason.... man, fuck this stupid cop bitch. Everybody makes mistakes, not everybody kills people on accident.

You can get a regular bachelors in 2 years pretty easily if you take summer classes too, so I think your claims that you are doing something special is maybe a bit misleading. You are just not giving your students any breaks for two years, something anybody could decide to do at any institution.
