Money is obviously an imperfect proxy for how much someone contributes to society but it's the only fair way to ration housing or any other limited resource. "My parents lived in this city and I grew up here" does not and should not trump "I moved here to work and be productive".
- McDoku 12y agoAre you seriously arguing that "to work and be productive" overrides the rights of native inhabitants of a region?
- aianus 12y agoIt's better for society as a whole to distribute limited resources based on some kind of merit rather than "I was here first".
- McDoku 12y agoLoyalty is merit. Would you rather a civilization that simply discarded you when you have lost utility? This is poor long term planning that undermines the nation for short term intrest. Unless you have pledged your allegiance, your contributions and loyalty is short term. So obviously we are going to prioratize someone who has our back. If you have the education it is likely because you come from a privileged family. There is also strong corrupting ingrained into the system. Unless my last red envelope was given to me in error. There are men and women in your country of greater merit who are not given the opportunity. If we were truely acting on merit they would be hear, and not you. They would have been given the scholarship and the resources in childhood to succeed. I have met way too many entitled princelings lacking any of the virtues of a gentleman.
- adventured 12y agoWhat rights are you talking about that "native inhabitants of a region" possess exactly?
- McDoku 12y agoThey deserve the loyalty of their representatives. Policy should be made in thier best intrest.
