    It’s the same metaphor though. Helping a group of people doesn’t hurt a different group. Did they make a decision based on whether they expected to get help: yes. Does providing that help against that expectation hurt them: no.

    It’s an especially good metaphor because nobody is even talking about taxing tradies to fund the relief.

        Can’t they do both? Do they still need to kill all the people on the tracks? That part of the argument isn’t coherent.

            It’s not a substitute for actual action. But in the meantime, it’s at least better than doing nothing.
