      first of all where the fuck did you get that statistic

      second: Lotteries are rotten to the core, did you idiots really think you could avoid the punishments of capitalism by being magically whisked away by millions that are unlocked if you have the magic number?

      Have you considered the actual reasons, to such a degree that you could share with us how you understand as meaningful the comparison with UBI?

      Alternatively, are you simply deflecting thoughtlessly with a false analogy?

        False analogy? People get free money all the time with lotteries and welfare. UBI is another word for welfare. We clearly know what people do with welfare. The lottery is like a big welfare check. And we know what they do with that too.

          You wrote, “Why do most big lottery winners end up broke?”

          I asked, “Have you considered the actual reasons?”

          You have not answered.

          So, have you considered the actual reasons, why most big lottery winners end up broke?

          What are the reasons?

              The conversations often feel like spinning tires in mud, but it’s still fun to see how much gets kicked up.

            BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T EARN THE MONEY. This isn’t hard. There are numerous articles, papers, and podcasts on the topic. When you don’t earn something, you don’t respect it. I thought your question was rhetorical because it’s so asinine.

              Are you aware of any cases of unearned income or wealth that would not strongly support your generalization, particularly any that may relate to the themes mentioned in the post?
