 Asymmetry might be a synonym for power. 
 Inflation means: after working to earn money, you need to work again so that "your money works for you". 
 What incentivizes a business to treat existing customers better than new ones? 
 More useful than agreeing is to hear why we come to our conclusions. 
 I wish for you everything you wish for those people over there. 
 Other people could be more inclined to get involved when it's aligned with their current goals, when it feels like riding the same bus together. 
 I enjoy being around people with big hearts.
