@tawillionaire i've said for years, they could build las vegas 2.0 there instead of these crappy Indian casinos, although they've gotten much nicer in the last 10 years, but they could 1000x their revenue if they'd let las vegas casinos come in and just duplicate an build the LV-strip here!

IDK if you know this, but…you can absolutely jail your way to a peaceful society.
Communists want you to believe the opposite because the more chaos there is, the more they can convince you to accept top-down authoritarian control.
Pol Pot. This piece of shit killed an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979, somewhere between 25 and 33 percent of the entire population. He did this by applying an ideology to its logical conclusion. Ideology always has a conclusion; socialism's conclusion is death.
The Khmer Rouge abolished money in 1975. Completely. Banks closed. Markets dissolved. Currency became contraband. They then abolished private property, forcibly relocated urban populations to collective farms, and set central planners the task of organizing rice production for the entire nation. The result was predictable: mass starvation beside the rice fields. Planners cannot coordinate production without prices. Prices require private property and voluntary exchange.
Pol Pot studied in Paris during the 1950s, absorbing French Communist Party doctrine and Maoist agrarianism. Western universities provided the intellectual scaffolding for the killing fields. Coercion requires enforcers, tribunals, and eventually mass graves; Cambodia's are at Choeung Ek.
Every collectivist experiment reaches this same point, because central planners cannot solve what free exchange solves automatically every second of every day.
“We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”

“Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man. Capitalism made it possible to become wealthy by serving your fellow man.” -Walter E. Williams
A Black Hawk helicopter has been parked on a dirt lot in a Las Vegas neighborhood for 4 days.
Its pilot is in town for a convention.
The landowner near Bermuda and Pebble says he OK'd it — and that the FAA did too.
Still cheaper than resort parking.
