The part about 'what are you willing to sacrifice' rings so true. 'Success', 'recognition', 'fame', vs doing the right thing will always be at odds. Believing you can take fundamentally moral choices and airbrush, cover up, box-off, manage, fix with markets, or solve with technology & ingenuity alone is the crux of America's spiritual and socio-political-economic descent. You could not merely elect, invent, or think the New Deal into reality. It took sacrifice, up to and including some lives.
