    Our people would much rather have a 0.1% chance of lucking into a lifestyle of perverse gluttony than have a 100% chance of everyone having a roof, a bed, and a full belly at night.

    Doesn’t hurt that most Americans probably can’t even conceptualize what this even means, and have no understanding of just how big of a difference there is between those two percentages. They don’t even know what an order of magnitude is, let alone the implications of several.
