"It’s so fucking insane to me that #material #possessions and #merchandise is #valued more highly in this #country than #human lives and physical well-being. Saw a video of a guy who had been accused of shoplifting a single pizza (which he had paid for) being violently pinned to the ground by three #cops, one of whom was threatening to break his nose while he calmly told them to check the receipt he had and confirm he had #lawfully #purchased the #pizza. The comments were like “if he shoplifted he deserved that” and “even if he didn’t shoplift, I bet they tackled him because he was resisting arrest” that level of violence over an freeze pizza is insane in any fucking context no matter how much dickridding you are going. Fuck #Walmart. Fuck loss prevention. Fuck cops."

Answer:

It's a #trick question.

BOTH men are better off than they were before the trade. If either one felt they would be in a worse position after the trade, they would refuse to complete it, and nothing would change hands.

In that moment, in those circumstances, using their own best #judgment of their #needs and #desires, both men #valued what the other #offered to trade more than they valued what they had to #exchange for it.

And therefore, they're both better off afterwards.

“Over & over again, when the participants in the #Harvard study reached their #70s & #80s, they would make a point of saying that what they #valued most were their relationships with #FriendsAndFamily… our #relationships are among our most valuable #tools for sustaining #health & #happiness…choosing to #invest time & energy in them today becomes vitally important. It is an investment that will affect everything about how we live in the #future.”
