Agree - but the way some of these so-called thinkers react is to always toss the good for the perfect. So we never even get to first base while they call the shots. A half loaf is better than no loaf, but they’d rather starve - which is fine if they are the only ones to go hungry. As usual the reality is that they take the rest of us down with them, selfish pricks.
“selfish pricks.”
Yes, they are, and they come in all political persuasions. One of the paramount reasons we’re in the pickle we are today is that fact that everyone sees “the way to prosperity and freedom” through the narrow prism of their own self-interest. The most obvious example is those who continue to go to NFL games. Thirty years ago, if the NFL had tried to pull this crap, they would have been out of business in a couple of months.
