But here's the issue.behind the shift rightwards towards money over people.
Those who view possessions or money as co-equal virtues or even greater than personal actions or traits are conflating virtue with a monitary or barter value
And once the situations of resources or living beings have a cost or ROI - a monitary value placed on them, there is no longer a virtue value.

As the old saying goes, if everything has a cost, nothing has a value.
And Progressivism should be an investment outside of costs or possessions, an investment in virtue.
Social stability, security to attain basic needs and social interactions should be a virtue a society should . Not something of value not attainable to those who don't have the money to buy luxuries.
