Wish that be true. For some people this might be more true, but for less fortunate certainty it isn't.

None of us get to choose the hands we're dealt, how many cards we get dealt, or how many cards we get to play, that's fate/destiny. That's a fact of life and there is an enormous difference between a good hand and a very bad hand. That said, each of us get to choose how we play our cards. While that won't take a bad hand someone has been dealt and change it into a good hand, we are absolutely allowed to take a bad hand and play it even worse.

I actually like the gambling metaphor. Your opponents (billionaires, corporations, renters, etc.) have a strong hand and after check they will always win. I admit that we have some freedom to operate with our cards, but in practice it is often just enough to survive and have just as much resources as to be useful to the company you work in.
