Great. The government is regulating luck now.
[quote=pri_dk]And the idea that the government must “further” intervene isn’t part of the argument at all. You seem to be implying that it’s being “piled on.”[/quote]
It is, without a doubt, being piled on. Since about 1920, I’d say.
The logical fact remains – when the government starts making decisions for people, it removes choices from every-day people, increasing their reliance on luck.
There’s no two ways about it from my perspective.
And I’m quite certain that the government shouldn’t be in control of luck.
Is it even possible to control luck?
Isn’t that the definition of luck?
Somebody writes a book saying luck plays a part in people’s success and all of the sudden, we need the government to get involved to fix the whole problem.
