Default Re: What good are we? As poker players, are we socially responsible?

Economically, poker players create employment for the gaming/casino/entertainment industry. Whether it's online or in B&M, the "rake" we pay funds a business that creates jobs for others. While poker in and of itself is a zero sum game with overall limited economic value compared to many professions, professional poker players still create more than zero value.
