    There’s always someone who shows up to say that. I bet there’s been one of you every time society advanced. “Historically, having clean water a recent development, and they don’t even have access to clean water in other countries!”

    Same energy as “eat your vegetables, there are starving children somewhere.” And equally useful as a statement when trying to force me to swallow something I despise.
