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.”
Yeah this comic is perfectly accurate, plus the one with the man in the business suit, talking to some children around a campfire in a post-apocalyptic setting, saying “yes the world was destroyed, but for a beautiful moment in time we made a lot of value for it shareholders.”

EDIT - this one:
Then the billionaire says the same and crushes their lives.
“But it’s not profitable.” -people who wouldn’t profit off it anyway, on any issue about socialism.
"Comfort means nothing without safety. "
Or maybe
“you won’t stay comfortable long that way.”
