I actually like the gambling metaphor. Your opponents (billionaires, corporations, renters, etc.) have a strong hand and after check they will always win. I admit that we have some freedom to operate with our cards, but in practice it is often just enough to survive and have just as much resources as to be useful to the company you work in.
