@Leucrotta If you teach children and elders how to spot marks ethically, fleece the flock, patter and scatter and pull a fast fade? How thin to slice a salami? Yes. Yes it is. How are traditional skills to be passed on if we do not share them with others? There is so much grift to go around. The haves have more than ever before, but they're as gullible as ever: we must show our families how to help them redistribute the gains.

@Leucrotta If nothing else, playing for peanuts is a good way to teach kids what to watch for (and get a snack), and learning how to arrange the table from behind the 8-ball is a *crucial* life skill that nobody teaches you in school.

It's not 'pool sharking', it's 'alternative fundraising through social engineering and applied predictive geometry.' 💜
