Have you received any calls from a government entity instructing or asking you to shutdown buying of these volatile stocks? SEC, someone in Biden's administration, etc?

The average household spends 640$? Maybe because I'm upper-middle class, but I don't know anybody who regularly buys tickets (or at least admits/talks about it). What's the average spending in households that spend at least 1$ on tickets?
Lotto is run by state governments, and I believe a lot of the proceeds go to fund those governments. Isn't this better than gambling corporations making the profit? If we shut down all the lotteries, wouldn't people looking to get rich quick start throwing their money at for profit gambling businesses instead?

In my opinion the proof-of-payment system is awful. A lot of people who aren't regular commuters don't even bother to buy tickets and just deal with the inconvenience of getting thrown off the train if they (rarely) get caught. While as a regular commuter that has been buying monthly passes for 7+ years I've received a number of (300$+ tickets) for simple failing to tag on the first day of the month and running into a particularly unforgiving conductor.
Will these new electronic cars have any new ticketing technology requiring people to swipe/tag on before getting on the train? There has to be a better system than clipper/proof-of-payment
