Full-Blown Enema

Let’s talk about how completely broken the system is. It’s a joke, really. A guy steals $22 million—yes, million—with a *capital* M—from the Jacksonville Jaguars to fund his gambling addiction. And what happens to him? He’s sentenced to a laughable six and a half months in federal prison. Six. And a half. Months. For $22 million. You can't make this stuff up.

But it doesn’t stop there. This guy, Amit Patel, now has the audacity to sue FanDuel, the very platform where he was blowing the stolen millions, claiming they "manipulated" him into gambling. He’s asking for $250 million in damages because, apparently, it’s not enough to steal from your employer; now he wants to cash in on his own addiction as well. His argument? FanDuel showered him with perks—$1 million in betting credits, lavish trips to sports events, and other gifts—all designed to keep him hooked. Yeah, *that’s* the problem here: too many gifts.

Let’s be real. If stealing $22 million and serving a few months in prison sounds like a great deal, how many people would line up for that? It’s practically an incentive. And when you get out, you can just sue the company that “enabled” your bad behavior, claim victimhood, and boom—your next windfall is already in motion. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

It’s a pattern we’ve seen before. Remember the Florida tobacco lawsuits? Everyone knew cigarettes were bad for you, but somehow the tobacco companies ended up forking over huge sums of money in settlements. Did most of that money go to helping smokers? Nope. It lined the pockets of the lawyers, who—surprise, surprise—walked away with millions. That case set the blueprint for this kind of nonsense.

And now, on top of all this, we’re walking into another disaster: legalizing pot. Oh sure, it’ll probably pass in your state. But just you wait. Once it’s legal, people will still find ways to claim they're victims. “Oh no, I didn’t know pot was addictive! Now my life’s a mess, and I’m suing the dispensary!” Just give it a few years—mark my words.

These days, you practically need a lawyer just to walk out of your house. Heck, even staying in bed isn’t safe anymore. Record everything—hire a videographer—because at any moment, you could become the next victim. And when it happens, you’ll want that footage to sue whoever’s responsible for your latest misfortune. Did you trip over your own feet? Not your fault. Sue the shoemaker. Fell off a ladder? That’s on the ladder company. Sue them all.

We’ve turned into a society where everyone’s a victim, but no one’s responsible. Patel isn’t responsible for embezzling millions—FanDuel is, of course! Smokers weren’t responsible for inhaling carcinogens—the tobacco companies are. Soon, pot smokers won’t be responsible either. And on and on it goes.

The real insanity? The system encourages it. We’re trapped in a never-ending cycle of blaming others, and when that fails, just throw your hands up and yell, "I’m a victim too!" Meanwhile, the lawyers, always ready to capitalize on the chaos, rake in more cash than the crooks they’re defending.

It’s time to face the truth: the system needs a full-blown enema.
