No. I don't disagree; the line between the two is very hard to find & is often obscured just by circumstance, but as I said the difference is whether one decides therefore to intervene with the danger prospect that might be overly intrusive or not & just to accept inequality auctioning on people through no fault of their own.... and for me the political power involved is much wider than just Govt.; the political power of those who've benefited by luck s all around us

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 Hmm, luck is difficult to quantify. I don't see how this line of reasoning could be turned into fair and balanced action. Of course there are obvious cases, but those are far from the most common ones.
It would be fun though, to know how much of Elons wealth is due to government contracts, and how much is due to private individuals free, informed consent, when buying his products.
@h4890
and also how much is due to being int the right place at the right time?
