Cause I have it on good authority that nepo babies and trust fund babies are very bad, but they're no more guilty of anything than Jimbo who struck gold.
Ticket = the vehicle he took to wealth. The outcome is less important.

Another weird observation about this topic:

Nobody ever gets mad at powerball winners, even though they probably fit the bill of "not earning their money" way, way more than any CEO of any company?
Because everyone assumes they are going to blow it all. Or die. Winning the lottery was the worst thing to ever happen to some people

Any person with a dangerous substance dependency who is handed a huge pile of money is at risk of a fairly quick death

If I become rich suddenly, am I obligated to hate myself?

If I already hate myself, can that be a prerequisite for getting the money?

Jk I don’t hate myself. But will take free money nevertheless, if anyone is offering

I'm not opposed to that in principle.

To reiterate tough: how come only CEOs get nothing but antipathy because they allegedly don't "earn" their fortunes, but if Jerry wins powerball and rakes in a cool 50mil which he *objectively* did not earn, nobody cares at all?
powerball is a tax on the poor and socialists hate it. You just dont hear about it, because they have CEOs to kill first, then they will get rid of the poor tax.

No reason to have a powerball if everyone is equal.

First of all CEOs are not a problem, but corporations being individual rights as citizens is. Hope this helps.

Lottery takes in more than it pays out.

So essentially those people are donating money to the state, and one of them is reward.

It's literally how mining bitcoin works.

So.. the reason they are better than the CEO, is they are taking money, giving it directly to the state, with only the "potential" promise of a reward.

It is true charrity, hurts nobody, and rewards some.

Or maybe nobody complains about the lotto because everything is organized by reptoids.

And the lotto is literally this:



and the reptoids, feed off our andriochromines, when the winner getgs handed money, and promptly losses it and all their family and friends and become miserable, angry and depressed a result.
