AO> $realworld always wins.

Translation:  "Shift as much cost as you can to as many other entities 
as you can."

$realworld says that is short-sighted.  If selfishly saving $x increases 
the overall economy's cost by $10x, it doesn't take a genius to see the 
net loss.

I doubt I'll retire within the next five years.  I prefer not to pee in 
the pool in which I must swim.
