Here is the deal, you find a genie bottle, but the genie is in a very sour mood. You get one wish only, and it is only a choice of two wishes. Your choices are as follows:

A. You can receive $10,000 but the moment you do either both of the Koch Brothers or Bill and Hillary Clinton will receive $1 million dollars. It will go to the parties in the most opposite of your political beliefs. (ie: if you are liberal the Kochs will get it.)

B. You can receive $100 but the same parties listed above LOSE $10 million.

Discuss.

Though the choice is obvious, when given the choice in real life half the population did and does not take it. Why?
The President is a fink.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Genies do not exist.
