Winning with Lottery Tickets (The New Math)

In order to win with lottery tickets you need to be aware of the new math.  Every mathematician knows that winning the lottery is all about the math, and if you realign your math into a new math, even if that math is not correct or even up to the codes of elementary math, let alone euclidian or non-euclidian geometry, you will know that you can win with lottery tickets.

We start with a basic asset and liability balance sheet.  If you are new to math, this will help you see if you are actually winning or not.

List the amount of money that you spent on lottery tickets in the liability column on a two column sheet of paper (it can even be a napkin).  List the amount spent in one month.  Below that list the amount of junk food and cigarettes and soda you purchased at the convenience store where you purchased those lottery tickets during the same month.  So if you bought one soda per day for $1.39 with tax that would be $43.09 on a 31 day month.  That would just be for soda (This is the old math).  Once you list everything you bought at the convenience store, also list the amount of money in gas you use going to the convenience store (This may seem like much, since it is convenient).  Also list the hospital bills for heart disease, pneumonia, and other sugar/tobacco diet side-effects from shopping at the Village Pantry.  Study that paper carefully.  If this were old math, you would then list the winnings on the asset side, and compare the two and see which side is more, and most likely the liability side would be much higher. 

This is why we need new math to be able to play the lottery or lottery tickets because the old math just says to stop, that it's stupid to keep buying tickets. 

New Math:  Tear up the piece of paper that you studied.  Burn it.  Forget about it.  Only think of the assets.  Only think of your winnings.  But what if I never win?  Isn't the excitement of almost winning good enough?  Especially since it isn't costing you anything because of the new math.  Only count assets, don't count liabilities.  That is the new math my friends.  Cheers.  Even if you don't win, doesn't it feel good to scratch off all those tickets?

Investing Morally - the Opioid Epidemic

Morons!!!  That is who this is for.  Remember the blog title carefully.

What if you see that you need some type of retirement like a 401(k) or a Roth IRA or an annuity or at least a social security check and you wonder what the best investment is out there.  You start to hear all over the place that there is an epidemic in America related to heroin and opiates.  Herion and opiates are really the same thing.  The drug dealer on the street and the scipt for Oxycontin are really the same thing.

You are a moron, and so even though people are dying from the opioid epidemic (everybody has to die some time), the opioids are helping people with there pain.  Didn't someone once say, "Religion is an opiate for the masses."  So giving people an opiate for pain is good, of course not to be used except at the uttermost point of need (or when someone wants it).  So as a moron you say, "How can I build my retirement portfolio on opiates?"

No! You would never sell heroin on the street.  So you can't do that.

But this cool company called Purdue Pharma makes Oxycontin and tons of other pain meds.  They pretty much just make a bunch of pain meds.  Are these pain meds killing people?  Yes.  But are they escaping their pain?  Yes, they are dead.

Purdue Pharma sounds like a pretty smart organization in that they have figured out how to kill loads of people every day and get paid for it in the name of helping people in their pain.  Funny how they have had lots of law suits against them that they have lost, but how can the millions they lose in court ever compare to the trillions of dollars they make every year?

You don't believe me!  Try to look up how much anybody high up there makes.  They take the natuarlist's law in their disclosure of their financial information - LEAVE NO TRACE.  Is Oxycontin alone a big money maker for Purdue Pharma?  If 2 billion dollars is a lot, then yes.  But what if they don't record all their sales?  Wouldn't want everyone to know about all their deals.  What about the Oxycontin and other opiates shipped all around the world?

If you are a big enough moron and have absolutely no ethics like Purdue Pharma, you are super-excited to buy Purdue Pharma stock.  You were thinking of Bershire Hathaway, and then you got all moronic and went all in with Purdue Pharma.

Then you realize there is not Purdue Pharma stock.  It is a private company.  You see, to be a public company and sell shares of stock, there would be two problematic issues that Raymond Sackler (read: evil character in real live thriller), the owner of Purdue Pharma would have to be faced with:

1.  In the words of Carrie Underwood - DIRTY LAUNDRY.  His information would become less and less private.
2.  He would have to share all that money with investment companies like Vanguard and Fidelity.

So you cannot invest in the Opiate Crisis, because Raymond Sackler, the owner and Drug Lord of Opiates, won't let you have any of the money that he uses to kill people all throughout this country.

Sadly, although Purdue is the worst they are not alone.  Abb Vie, Indivior, and Mallinckrodt and many others.

There are many morons willing to live rich on the funerals that fill the obituaries.
