The problem with this is that with most initiatives, there are winners and losers. Someone is hurt, but someone else (possibly many people) is helped. Even a Robin Hood-like approach hurts the rich, however small and insignificantly.
Can you refine that rule?
You’re right and I should refine it!
How about; “Does this initiative hurt more people than it helps?”
Fair question my friend!
(And yes, sometimes the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many in the long term. Rare, but it can happen.)
