Why this dilemma matters

Public-good questions surface the trade-offs that aggregate numbers usually hide. Choosing “Yes. If they've served their time, the punishment can't follow them forever” prioritises broader fairness; choosing “No. The people nearby have a right to know what risk they are being asked to accept” gives more weight to concrete impact on individuals.

Worth asking yourself

  • Would you accept the outcome from the losing side?
  • Are we solving the problem or moving it?
