What this research is about is the difference between prosperous and impoverished people. "Luck" has nothing to do with it. Prosperous people are not better off than poor people because they are "lucky", but because they have the bundle of skills and attitudes that enables them to make the most of their opportunities.
Now being born with a horrible deformity or good looks, or into a poor or rich family, now that IS mainly a matter of luck. And obviously, such has consequences that follow one throughout life. But there are also plenty of examples of people who rise above misfortune and really make something remarkable of themselves and their lives. There are also plenty of beautiful people from rich families that have made nothing but a mess of their lives.
can we have any hope that the "lucky" (e.g. overpaid drug addicted actors) will take responsibility for their destruction of their good fortune? Oh I forgot they turn their deplorable narcissistic behavior into a cash cow tell all!
