Greed greases the political wagon wheels.
It is pure hope for those in the USA that having a Telecommunications company that involved with PokerStars may be just enough to bring more political interests to the table through power lobbying.
We can only hope.
If it is successful then other states become motivated to get a piece of the money pie as well. Longest journey starts with the first step. Take a look at Washington. They can't even get together on whose turn it is to buy at Burger King. They will let everyone else starve while they take 6 months of breaks each year. Not once have they ever been late voting their own pay raises through.
IMHO there is a special place in hell for politicians. If I end up there then I want the job of shoveling the coal onto the fires they are burning in.
This is just a small positive step of many that will be required to move other states to get involved. We are way beyond any federal intervention on poker's behalf. Trump is at war with China,
mexico, South America & North Korea. Before his term is up the stock market will be in the crapper, the economy will be in another GREAT recession & we all might be drafted to fight in several wars just to have food & shelter.
Big storm coming.
