I am seeing more and more conversation taking place about the the threat the gambling industry is to our communities. So I am posting my conversation with Trevor about this issue again.

Again, I urge you to listen to this, especially if you’re struggling with gambling. Trevor and I spoke about online sports betting. Some of you know I lost my brother to suicide because of his addiction to it. Without me knowing, Trevor stopped accepting betting companies as advertisers on his podcast. In this clip, he and Ryan (who’s off screen) make some very sharp points about how these companies operate and the sneaky, manipulative tricks they use to get people to spend all their money.

After my brother took his life, his therapist called me and said of all addictions, gambling is the most likely to lead to suicide.

It destroys families, lives and obliterates futures.

I would like heavier and more regulation when it comes to sports betting when it comes to advertising, accessibility and sponsorship. People are not saving money, not paying school fees etc, because of gambling. The government is simply not doing enough to curb this pandemic.

See the whole podcast on Spotify or YouTube, What Now? With Trevor Noah.

Cost of living has been increased to fund corruption.

The hard truth is that many Black execs get caught up in survival mode instead of building a pipeline for others. Some fear competition, others lack the influence to uplift. Meanwhile, other groups play the long game, mentorship, funding, and succession planning. If we don’t do the same, we stay playing catch-up.

Sitting in the gym sauna, listening to an Indian guy talk about how he was mentored and groomed by fellow Indians into partnership at a big audit firm by 29. He says he was out of his depth, but they backed him. Black execs, we need to fight for our own too.

Guys, the reason that I don’t look down on industries is because we are all linked, you can’t be a Dr without a teacher, you can’t advertise your practise without a Marketer/Designer, you can’t do accounting without clients from other industries, we are all important somehow

Politics is pro-wrestling in suits. Opposing parties are collaborators in a greater system, whose choreographed conflict entertains and distracts us from what is really going on.

I have a theory that children should really be assisted and guided actively in dealing with feelings of jealousy. That thing is a fire that destroys lives... you see adults just being pissed that the next person is focused on their life.

[Rue. @so_ineffable]

@Eskom_SA No electricity in Motswedi, Zeerust since 2pm yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!! We pay our taxes why are you prioritising urban areas!!!!!

[Rue. @so_ineffable]

@ladybrownkhunou @Eskom_SA This is bad. We are waking up with no electricity. Please send report the outage and pass this on to everyone else that you know https://t.co/ZfGrFPyr1d

[Rue. @so_ineffable]

@Eskom_SA You guys only prioritise urban area while people in the rural area sit for more than 24 hours without electricity! Motswedi doesn’t have electricity! Why?

[Rue. @so_ineffable]
