I am a poker dealer in a casino.Many people view dealers with a certain admiration. Their card handling and actions of cutting a stack of chips (from countless hours of doing so), in the case of poker, the ability to pitch (deal) cards directly into the players hands. The ability to quickly discern the winning hand, even when the players don't see it immediately, and the list goes on.But, there are many, many things going on that you don't see.First, casino dealer pay is crap. Here in Ohio, minimum wage for tipped employees is $4.35/hr. Dealers, as they learn more games, begin to earn a little more with raises of anywhere from $0.15 - $0.25/hr. Woohoo!As a poker dealer, I didn't have the luxury of learning more games later, I had to hit the ground running knowing all forms of poker.My wage is $4.90/hr. The majority of casino workers are part time, around 85%. The casino industry worldwide gets rich off low wages and part-time help.While your dealer is administering your game he or she is performing many, many tasks.Calculating the pot is crucial. In poker, the house makes its money off the rake, this is a token fee the casino charges for me dealing your game. Unlike table games (blackjack, three-card poker, roulette, etc) in poker, you aren't playing against the house and therefore not giving your money directly to the casino. So it is essential for the dealer to keep track of pot size until the capped percentage of the rake is met, after that we quit counting (except in PLO, more on that in a bit).So, I'm keeping track of the pot size, now I need to watch where the action is. This is to keep the pace of the game moving along. Poker, by and large, is a boring game. That's why regular players bring earphones, tablets, etc. If the game runs too slow, players will ask for a different table or just leave. So I need to do all I can to keep the game moving.As part of keeping the game moving, I personally try to shave at least a second off of each hand, by gathering the chips into a neat pile so that I can shove the entire stack to the winner in one move. There are a few other tricks that might shave a second here and there. A second? Big deal. Well it is for us. That's one second per hand, multiply that by hundreds of hands per dealer per day. Time is money. The more hands per hour, the more tips per hour for me, and the more rake for the house.I'm listening to everything you say. It's my job to be aware of what goes on at my table. I need to prevent collusion, arguments, or actions which are against the rules. Most of the time, 99%, it's all just normal conversation. But sometimes the aforementioned items occur, as well as some TMI bombshells by people with no filter.I'm watching everything you do. I am backed by a surveillance network of cameras that see everything you do. That's why I'm baffled by people that attempt to cheat or steal inside a casino. We see you and in most cases know who you are.Now, take all the things I've mentioned so far, and realize that on a busy day I may not have gotten a break for many hours. Yet despite the pain in my back and the fact that my hands hurt, I have to remain focused and continue to perform at a high level. We're human, so sometimes we have better days than others.Now, to Pot Limit Omaha (PLO). This is one of the most challenging games for a poker dealer to deal. PLO isn't played everywhere, but my particular poker room has one of the highest concentrations of PLO east of the Mississippi.PLO is the only poker game where any player can ask how much is in the pot. And the dealer better know it.Here's how it works. In poker there are ‘blinds". These are blind mandatory bets that rotate around the table as the deal moves just to ensure there is money in the pot.So, we'll use 5 - 5 PLO as our example. $5 small blind, $5 big blind. The next player calls by putting in $5, as does the next. At this point, I've got both the small and big blinds at $5 each and two callers. But, the next player says, “pot" indicating he wants to make a pot-sized bet.If you paid attention you can see there are four bets at $5 totaling $20. However, that's not what the pot bet is. The calculation is this, three times the last bet ($5), so thats $15 plus the remaining other three $5 bets totaling $15, so the pot bet is $30.The next player calls $30. The next player says “pot". 3X$30, so $90+$30+$5+$5+$5=$135.Now, the next player says, “pot". 3X135, 405+90+30+5+5+5=540.Mind you this is just the first round of betting. I'm not going to belabor the math anymore, but you can see how taxing it can be, and the dealer has to know the total immediately.As you might imagine the dollar amounts of pots in PLO can be massive.It is not uncommon for me to push a $8,000 pot and the winner tips me… $1.00, yes one dollar.So, when visiting a casino, be aware that the casino workers are getting paid low wages but working hard for your tips. Help ’em out.

As an American who has been living, working, and trying to make ends meet in Italy for the past 7 years, I have some experience with this topic.After reading a lot of the other answers, I think most people are overcomplicating things. For sure corruption, bureaucracy, cultural norms, etc etc all play a part.However, the base economic problem of Italy stems from the % of black money within the overall economy. There are estimates that 33% of the Italian GDP is black. Thats like 540 billion euros annually. Just let that sink in a minute…For reference, the US is around 8% of GDP, and one of the smallest, after Switzerland. Germany and France are still pretty high at around 15–16%, but Italy at a third of GDP is past the tipping point which causes the lack of infrastructure investments, quality of healthcare and social programs, etc.So, overall it is not that the Italians themselves—the actual people—are poor, in fact personal debt rates are much lower than other EU countries. Italians themselves actually have a relatively high amount of disposable income, even after all the crying about low salaries—mainly due to lower costs of living (living with parents rent-free into middle-age, and family money helping to take vacations, buy cars, etc).Rather, Italy the country is poor, underdeveloped, and in a shitstorm due to the fact that a third of its GDP is under the table. I think this is an important distinction to make.I could go on ad nauseam about black money: how it seems to be a national pastime, how the Guardia di Finanza and police are in on the game, how many hardworking, honest Italians HAVE to deal in black money just to make ends meet due to increasing tax rates and costs of living, how Italians don’t see it as a problem because they don’t see the big picture of “Italy” but rather their own province or town, etc… but it all boils down to the fact that this underground economy is causing what the original poster referred to—economic and developmental inequality when comparing Italy to other EU states.
