Mr. President, when will you understand that your actions ruin lives? The sheer amount of redstone emissions is affecting the air quality.

Every time I see another ‘limited-time offer’ at the casino, I think about how many people are walking out with empty wallets and empty stomachs. It’s like you’ve built a city where survival depends on how much someone can lose, a system that keeps people broke and dependent, whether you admit it or not.

My cousin’s been living in his car for three months after he lost everything in your casino. He told me he’d get back on his feet, but how do you even do that here? Do you even care about the people who built this place? Las Nevadas isn’t for families like mine—it’s for tourists.

I used to look up at the Space Needle and think it was amazing. Now it reminds me of how much this horrible place favors the rich.

. . .

[ there's a near hysterical bundle of nerves shooting off through his nervous system. ]

um. okay, look— las nevadas' purpose is to provide opportunity, entertainment, and economic growth. and with that said, i can’t take sole responsibility for every loss or struggle. the casino operates fairly, within strict guidelines, and it is each individual’s active decision to gamble within or outside of their means. right? that makes sense.

here's a little newsflash for ya: people lose because they gamble. that's kinda how it works. something, something, personal responsibility.

as for your claim that my nation is ‘only for the rich,’ well, las nevadas does give people a chance to win. you saw that guy getting out with 150 thousand NVD in the papers last week, right? yeah, that's a common happenstance around here! the only reason you aren't getting that chance is because of your consistent judgement of a bunch of machines.

look— okay, listen to me. i'm not in the habit of kicking people when they’re down, unlike some of your assumptions. we cater to those who know how to play the game, not those who can’t handle the heat of the desert.

las nevadas won't apologize for that, and frankly, you need to learn exactly when to play your cards.

for your reimbursement, we'll be sending over a benefit package with a few complimentary vouchers, a generous lump sum of loyalty points to use however you choose, as well as a VIP-access night out to the space needle, complete with a panoramic view and reserved seating!

perhaps your cousin will appreciate it. :]
