[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAGA Dimwit: Ever heard the phrase "a rising tide lifts all boats"?

It means, for example: 
[i][b]Everyone [/i]benefits from an educated populace, [/b]
[i]Everyone[/i] benefits from an populace with access to decent healthcare, 
[i]Everyone[/i] benefits from a public service infrastructure that, say, fights fires, or chases bank robbers, or maintains roadways, or makes certain foods and medicines are safe to consumer, and so on...

Now, [i]and stay with me here[/i], as a corollary, [i]everyone [/i]suffers from the absence of those things. In the case of healthcare, for example, even if you're healthy, having lots of people who aren't healthy is ultimately going to affect [i]you,[/i] negatively, one way or the other.  If children can't go to school, or if people can't eat, guess what, [i]you[/i] will be affected, directly or indirectly, sooner or later, probably sooner.

A rising tide lifts all boats... and a receding/lowering one lowers all boats.

If you think about it, it's sort of a Christian concept: Care about other people (if only for the reason that [i]not [/i]caring about others will ultimately mean their hardships come back on you, at some point, in some way.) It's also just a nice way to be, but it's a practical one, too.

Depends on how they have been educated and what they are educated in.
