    It’s the same metaphor though. Helping a group of people doesn’t hurt a different group. Did they make a decision based on whether they expected to get help: yes. Does providing that help against that expectation hurt them: no.

    It’s an especially good metaphor because nobody is even talking about taxing tradies to fund the relief.
