And it cost taxpayers $250M to build the shitty app. The shitty app was built by a councilman’s brother I believe. Pure corruption.

"cost" Only two people have lost money running a casino: Donald Trump and DC.

Some day the transcripts of the chats will come out with "Consulting fees" and "carry out receipts" and "bribes... I mean uh... not bribes" and it will be hilarious.

Ahhh if that’s where OP was heading then absolutely. That’s a big miss for a business where the house has the upper hand.
