Wholesome and dystopian.

Save a baby for citizenship.

Every reward can be dystopian.

To use it usefully, you should judge if this situation shouldn't have ever existed by your moral views.

So for instance, "billionaire gives graduating class free college" has the situation where college debt is horribly crippling, and that if we taxed the money billionaires have accumulated, then college could've been paid for with that anyway, without relying on a single person's generosity.

This situation, though, could happen in any society. The baby being at risk can happen to anyone and is a mistake on the parents part. A man saw a baby in danger, and risked breaking bones, possibly death, to secure the baby. That's behavior France wants to reward, and they offered something within their authority.

The only argument I can see to contrast that would be something like "immigration should always be allowed" or similar, but that's a Greg area.

Why should Greg be in charge!?

No one else showed up to the meeting I hosted last Tuesday specifically to select one person to control where all the people go.

I have vested in Greg full authority to define citizenship. He could deport you to anywhere on earth in a moment, so you better show him respect. He's right next to me, watching me type, but let me assure you I am under no threat to type this, no sir, no Marianas Trench deportation for me.

This may seem odd to ask....but you don't play Elite Dangerous do you?

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I do…but my name is surprisingly unrelated lol

[-] el_abuelo@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Ha! I guess the ubiquity of the CMDR abbreviation in Elite informed your choice here and so while it is unrelated, the abbreviation and all-caps was distinctive
