Going back to the painting example

You find someone to paint your house for 3k. You look at pictures of their work and are satisfied.

Before you complete the deal, someone comes along offering the same quality service for 2.5k.

If you take them... Are you somehow demeaning the humanity of the other guy? Or something similarly dramatic to the drek you just wrote.
Kinda silly to dismiss what's clearly a moral argument by saying that it's not what our current system operates under innit

Like even if I think that Donald Trump should be shot in the head, the certainty of me dying were to try to do so doesn't speak to anything regarding why I think he should be executed.
