Abstract: For every lucky/unlucky event you experience, you will experience an unlucky/lucky even of similar magnitude in the future.
The Hypothesis of Equivalent Exchange is a theoritical phenomenon where, whenever something or someone experiences a lucky event, they will experience an unlucky event of similar magnitude in the near future, and vice versa.
The Hypothesis of Equivalent Exchange is connected to gambler's fallacy, where the latter is essentially an over-reliance on the former. This does not mean the Law IS gambler's fallacy; one is merely a stated hypothesis, the other is a mistake on the user's end.
The Hypothesis holds some physical value objectively. In most of society, if you do something bad to get something good (the lucky event), you will get caught and punished (the unlucky event). Additionally, going through hardship (the unlucky event) makes you work harder, thus making your future better (the lucky event). Of course, this is merely a hypothesis; inaccuracies are bound to happen.

Pronounced: /ˈstækō iks-ˌchānj/
A mock or metaphorical marketplace where political bravado is traded for retreat. Named after the acronym TACO ("Trump Always Chickens Out"), it refers specifically to the cyclical pattern of bold economic threats followed by backpedaling, especially in U.S. trade policy.
A parody of the stock exchange, the STACO Exchange is the arena where speculative bluster gets inflated, then dumped, based on erratic political behavior, most notably Trump-era tariff talk that rarely materialized.
