Why did I do this?

A close relative of ours lost 150k on the pokies. In the space of one year they slapped away the credit cards, the children’s bank accounts, the entire house deposit, and broke their family apart. I became very angry, until recently when I overhear the pokies at a pub. There was not a single losing sound coming out of them. It changed my view. I was less angry at the person and more angry at the machines. Pokies are designed to be addictive. Adding losing sounds is one small way to change that.
