Hrm, okay? You yourself really drank the Conservative koolaid though if you can only think in black and white with no further nuance.

Everything is a trade-off in life. Every solution costs something else. Its funny that you accuse someone who couldn't be less conservative if they tried of that, just because I would like to actually change something, not just talk about it - and hence need workable solutions not utopian ideas. Though as I said to the op, on an utopian level I agree of course.

Yes, everything costs something, including inaction, and there is enough budget to cover that cost ... so instead of looking at it like a trade-off you might look at it like a purchase of 'a better life for most' with the 'money/labour you already made'.

Right you instantly dismissed solutions but I'm the conservative. I understand tradeoffs but I read your comment. It was dismissive

Okay, well then in that case it really wasn't meant that way but I'm also not a native English speaker. 😞

Thanks for clarifying. I appreciate this response and I hope I wasn't too rude with mine.
