These lose-lose scenarios make me sad. Does anyone else feel that the "we're paying 4 gold coins but are receiving only 2 platinum bracelets" style arguments are _extremely_ petty? They come from stable societies in which people who are willing to put in the effort are well rewarded and live carefree lives. I don't know if it's just because I'm living right in the middle of the tech bubble and I am empowered to pursue my interests anywhere, but I wish people would be taught that they have no right to feel they own a place just because they were born there. I believe spreading progress is essential for our peaceful survival and maintaining our way of life. The media is actively harming this.
