  • Yeah it's one of those technically true things that gets trotted out a lot to paint a "both sides" type picture. Not sure if that was the other commenters intent or not, but when stated without context it often seems like that's the intent.

  • Pointing out a positive side of something isn't muddying the waters, nor is it in any way an attempt to refute the original point. If you're unable to acknowledge something positive about the situation then I think that's on you, personally. Like I said, we should engage with the things people actually say, not what we think their implied meaning might be. It does not follow that being more comfortable should imply you should feel fulfilled and that is not an argument that's been put forward by anyone. No need to refute something nobody is putting forward. It just makes it harder to have a productive discussion, nothing more.

  • My reading of the comment was that the luxury being referred to was the fact that it's indoors, access to clean water, music etc. Nobody said slaving away for shareholder value is a luxury. My point is these are important non black and white issues and to have a proper conversation about them we need to engage with what people actually say. Otherwise what's the point of even commenting here?
