You know, I had no idea this thread would generate so many views and replies. I think I will try for 30,000 views and 1,000 replies. After all, it's just for entertainment anyway. Not bad for a thread about an imbecile billionaire.

The cultural insights of the OP were profound and incredibly thought-provoking.

The conservatives on here treat Rob like the whipping boy.

I wouldn't call it "like a whipping boy", it's more that Rob has spent a lot of time and effort here asserting his right to other peoples expertise and effort at a cost he deems appropriate. Sometimes those assertions beg another viewpoint, one that liberals don't seem interested in providing.

Does Alan decide if they are operating at, below, or above their abilities?

I have heard that argument made in a slightly different context.

The case given was for an investment banker earning $600K annually. Disgusted with her life of greed, she considers chucking it all and working as a relief volunteer in South Sudan.

But not so fast, says a concerned utilitarian. Local workers can be hired for a sack of rice per week. She is ethically obligated to stay in investment banking and donate her salary to hire squadrons of local relief workers in order to serve the greater good.
