[ EU ] Humans finally managed to control luck .

I marched with the great civil rights leaders. Jason Hatherby. Tabitha Collier. Patti Davidson. I marched on Washington, alongside far more than a million men and women. I marched into police barricades. Through water hoses and the teeth of dogs. Slept in holding cells. They used everything they had. But once the march of progress has started, it can not be stopped. Slowed, but not stopped. 
 
 All men are created equal. 
 
 All men are created equal. I believe that. The masses believe that. And now it is finally true. The Luck Equalizer is finally up and running. Built through a massive collaboration between the best US research labs and universities, it wasted away in Cambridge and Palo Alto storage lockers for far too long, kept there by elites who could n't stomach what it promised. 
 
 They are elites no longer. There are no more elites. Skin color, place of birth, size, family wealth, and all other factors that differentiate human beings matter no longer. For that's part of luck. 
 
 
 Every Kennedy, every Rockefeller, every Walton set for life by virtue of birth, they were lucky. Since the day the President flipped the Luck Equalizer's on switch- their power and wealth is the same as the rest of us. There money went to the slums that are slums no longer, but now there is not a trace of it to be found. 
 
 Albert Einstein was lucky to be born brilliant. No more Einsteins will push our scientific boundaries. When the machine came on, Stephen Hawking stopped being able to conceptualize the physics of black holes. No more stupidity. No more disabilities. No more geniuses. Only sameness. 
 
 Every physical specimen, every Lebron James was born lucky. Blessed with unnatural speed, strength, and size. Lebron shrunk to average height when it started. And lost his job. Not everyone can be lucky enough to play professional sports. So no one can be. 
 
 Almost all of the country's industries are dead. Movies most of all. Some people catch their big break. Others do n't, often for no apparent reason. So breaks themselves have ceased to exist. 
 
 Even the Luck Equalizer had some trouble with race. So it just turned everyone the same skin color. Obviously, some people would benefit if a color already in use was selected. So we're all blue now, from head to toe, and bald as the free eagles we are. Would n't be fair if some people got blessed with flowing locks while others had their hair fall out at 25. 
 
 Disease is gone. No cancer. Not even a simple cold. Equality of luck is absolute, regardless of the magnitude. 
 
 All men are created equal. 
 
 Absolutely, unalterably, equal. 
 
 Boring? Perhaps. A hindrance to so-called progress? Maybe. But inequality was far, far worse.
