They're probably happy with 50 years. Ask for 95 years and then get beaten down to 50 years and make them think the other side 'won' something by getting it do

Ask for 95 years and then get beaten down to 50 years and make them think the other side 'won' something by getting it down from 95.
- koralatov 14y agoI'd agree with that. It's a classic negotiating tactic, like when you ask for a pay-rise: you want 10%, so you ask for 20%; they baulk at your `insane' demand, then you `settle' for a more reasonable 10%.
- Avenger42 14y agoNot to mention all it really means is they're coming back to lobby again in 50 years, instead of 95 years. It's not like they win the battle once and don't fight it again.
