Seriously, it‘s not even, that you post about the booming Trump economy in the week where the DOW JONES has lost 1000 points, but disposable income hardly seems like an important factor in predicting the future of the Poker economy. How about the legislative environment? That hardly seems poker friendly going forward...
Agreed on all points. The only real chance for another poker boom of any significance is a drastic change in the legality of poker in the US. Unlike what Mason said in the link, the tax cut does NOT help most people in the long run. Quite the contrary, most poor and middle class folks will see a net increase over the life of the new tax law. Rich folks will see a massive tax cut over the life of the law, and business owners will see a massive, permanent tax cut. People in those positions are already well off enough to play poker if they so choose.
A real poker boom sequel, at least in the US, will only happen if the progressive wing on the left makes it legal. That will sell books for the best forum on the net.
