I can't believe all the comments are talking about "who will run their farm" and "what will they do with no jet fuel."
Everyone is so used to insulting wealthy people, they're grasping at straws here.
If you think your death is the worst thing that could happen to you, you're not thinking big enough.
But in general, I think there are almost zero situations where my death is worth more to others than my continued life. I don't live in a movie plot.
When World War 1 was happening, it was being actively deemed "The War To End All Wars." What could possibly be more noble? Of course in the end it not only failed to end war but set directly the stage for far deadlier conflicts shortly to come. It's all just so often utterly bizarre when you look at the big picture. A Bosnian Serb assassinates an Austro-Hungarian royal, and the next thing you know Brits and Germans are killing each other over it? Commoners nobly dying for noble's ignoble causes.
And now, over a 100 years later, the same underlying issues that led to the initial assassination still exist.
