As George Carlin said, it's called The American dream cause you have to be asleep to believe it"

I have no problem with capitalism etc, but the people who really succeed get lucky. It has nothing to do with how good you are or using your talents, those are givens.

Musk is worth 240 billion, you dont become billionaire without luck.

Taylor Swift... Lucky as [naughty word removed], nobody has that kind of success and it's not all hard work...it luck

Springsteen, lucky as [naughty word removed]. Great talent, but without luck nothing. He jams at bars with guys nobody has ever heard of, they weren't so lucky

Trump, nice to have a real estate tycoon dad.

Love the concept of using your gifts to make it, but if Shaq was 5"9 instead of 7"2...

He's working at Costco
