They demonstrate much more often to keep or increase their purchasing power than to lose it (and for good reason, since if we want to lose it is not very complicated, no need to fight!). And I also note that those who have little or no access to it make a lot more effort (sometimes at the cost of their lives) to try to integrate, than the reverse.
Must still be good reasons for that, right?
Even interventions on this forum about a "state of mind for a viable future" posited as initial conditions "not touch my comfort" .... in the sense "my comfort is a reasonable standard".
