It's true that wealth is not zero sum, but many of the things that wealth buy are zero sum. Political influence, time, land, attractiveness, power, etc. are all about sorting you relative to others. No matter how much new "wealth&

If the existing was the left side and the new was the right, would you feel the same way? I would definitely feel a lot safer on the left side, which is one of the main goals of night lighting.

Is there any new technology in the 3 that wasn't already shipped in the S or the X? Call me crazy, but I don't think the 3 will give them the production headaches that the S or X gave them.
