    Fair assessment. It generally seems to be a way of conditioning the argument to prevent further or critical discourse. Honestly with how deprived folks in the US are (as I am in my country), I think it is a bit condescending to rain on their parade. What else would they look forward to? The widening gap in wealth inequality? The increase in infant mortality? The support of genocidal regimes? Working on the positives and what people want might be a better strategy. I will say I do appreciate your comment even if others don’t think it’s insightful, it made me pause and think a bit.

    That said, I am glad this is implemented, and I don’t have evidence (read: haven’t seen anything or bothered to look too much into it) this project will fair worse than others which appeared to be ‘too good to be true’, baring such evidence and with the general sentiment that this makes total sense, I want to say it’s fair that it would be done even if it is being done decades late.
