iconoclastical:

Philanthropic millionaires seem ignorant of the fact that their extreme wealth is a bigger problem than the ones they are trying to solve.

Question #48: Luck -

Do you generate more luck when wearing your lucky jacket? (or, blanket, rabbit’s foot, gem, etc). Is wearing the jacket what creates the luck? It’s a placebo, no?
