It’s not a valid political strategy if you never account for losing your own money. It’s not $30 or nothing. It’s $30 or I file bankruptcy and have all my possessions taken away from me.
The stakes can change your risk-benefit assessment, but the fundamental dynamics are the same. Even if there’s a gun to my head, there are limits to what deal I’ll accept. “Kill another captive and I’ll let you live five more minutes,” for example.

Missing out on $30 vs losing $30 (or $300, or $3000, etc) doesn’t change the dynamics of the situation.
It does.
Maybe for someone who has nothing to lose it doesn’t.
We call that privilege.

Guess you lose two health bars? Seems like you presented the wrong evidence.
