- have sanctions, more Russians die, and fewer Ukrainians die because the war ends sooner
- the opposite
Then your suggestion seems to value Russian lives over Ukrainian ones.
I think you’re right overall about top 50% and top 1%, but I think as you consider ultra wealthy people it might not be as simple (or at least i wonder about more edge cases; maybe I’m wrong)
- J&J made useful products that may have been problematic according to cutting edge research. Now they are broke and fighting tons of litigation. And they are acting shady in court (thx to their lawyers/management, not their researchers no doubt).
- Researchers did cutting edge work on a relevant topic. Now they are getting sued.
- a load of people are suing J&J after choosing to buy their products. I’m sure some of the plaintiffs have real tough situations and some are motivated by greed/pushy lawyers. These people might get paid.
- the lawyers who did no cutting edge work and made no useful products are getting paid
- regular folk might have to pay more for j&j products
Few winners, and not the winners I would have wanted
I kind of understand an exemption for taxis especially at 60th street.
Is this one hot person to represent them all? Seems like not the world’s best experimental if so
Also maybe attractive (/charismatic?) men do better too.
