I have been job searching for 6 months now, and I haven’t found a job yet however I might have an opportunity to work in the gambling company a friend of my parents works in.

All this time I never sent applications to gambling companies because fuck working for a company which exploits vulnerable people like that, but I am starting to get desperate and the unemployment boredom has made me depressed.

I am thinking of rejecting the offer, but I wonder, is that just moralism on my part? Would you accept it?

    If we are being honest he’d just buy it somewhere else. Don’t be hard on yourself.

      Thank you, and you’re right.

      I’m not saying dry countries or those cultures that consider alcohol haram or taboo totally in the right… but he could have just gone down the street to any of the other 6 or 7 businesses here that sell hard liquor sans any limitations and continued to kill himself.

      Here, you can only buy so much cannabis legally per month. The staggering amount of alcoholics I deal with daily (many of them homeless and still buying booze!) has me thinking there should be some sort of harsher limit on alcohol sales and purchases.
