  Cost is a fundamental part of the human experience. We need to ask that question on every single human action (singular or collective). There are no free lunches.

    A good number of us have said "yeah, that cost seems worth it", and you act like your opinion is the only one that should matter.

      It would appear that more voters think the cost is too high.

          Of course they didn't know the exact policy mechanism, basically no one did (even well-informed, high-IQ voters). We voted for Trump because he promised massive disruption to the status quo.

    You being alive right now is very likely a cost that the collective we could have decided to do without. Clean water, the suppression of diseases that'd wipe out entire populaces... Without those, you should likely have died before you were 5. You know what, I think you're right, you should have died before your 5th birthday.
