I think about this comic probably once a week at this point. I don't know if anyone will ever be able to boil the problem down any further than what's here — "but what if we make a better world for nothing?"

Unfortunately I have tried to show this to people, or use the line that illustrates it, and the gist of the general response is "my comfort comes before our safety."

"Comfort means nothing without safety. "

Or maybe

"you won't stay comfortable long that way."
