Wondering if there's anything to read from the Day the Earth Stood Still school of political philosophy. The Rawlesian Veil is all very well, but what would the aliens do?

The whole Ferrari vs Corolla metaphor needs a bit of work. Probably more accurate to say they cancelled a Hi-Lux because the costs to widen the driveway and build a bigger garage had blown out, so they’re going make do with a Corolla. #nzpol
