Especially if there's a paycheck involved.
Rocky Gap Golf Course and Casino was a taxpayer funded boondoggle. It was an attempt to bring jobs to a massively underemployed area in the Appalachian Mountains:
The taxpayer-subsidized golf resort at Rocky Gap State Park was a bucolic boondoggle that cost Maryland millions of dollars and never lived up to its promise as a money-making tourist destination in an area that badly needed an economic boost.
It didn't attract enough tourists so they hit up taxpayers a second time for a bailout to build a casino:
Now comes the chase, with state officials hoping that gambling at Rocky Gap Casino Resort can change the fortunes of the mountain property in Allegany County along Interstate 68.
gyspy, who for years argued here on Punaweb that foreigners (TMT workers) were moving to Hawaii and taking good jobs from locals, has moved to an economically depressed area, and taken a job Maryland taxpayers intended for a local person. The jobs at Rocky Gap resort weren't meant for someone who could afford to move 5000 miles from an island in the Pacific, an island residents in Appalachia would no doubt look upon as a tropical paradise, a remote dreamlike destination they could never in their lifetime afford to visit:

But hey, a paycheck's a paycheck on the mainland, where everything (jobs, sacredness, desecration, cultural subjugation) now looks magically different through the windshield than in the rearview mirror.
The Donner Party really wasn't that great of a party, was it?
