I know someone who didn't get the lottery for 3 consecutive years.

Life is a series of lotteries. Where you're born, how wealthy your parents are, what genetic endowment you receive, what environment you grow up in. You have to win enough times and then you get a shot at a happy life.

Is it fair? Not really. Most people lose. I also lost. But, such is the reality we live in.

That's a bit defeatist. When discussing policy, we strive to create optimal, not random outcomes.
