As we all know, there is no middle ground between "paying for video captions" and "financing all money ever for the rest of time", and I think that's unfortunate.
I feel like there is a logical paradox here. You're using a bigger hyperbole to criticize a hyperbole. If this argument is valid then it invalidates itself.
I guess they spent a tiny bit of money so why not 1000% times more?
I don't mind giving your child some candy on Halloween but I'm not going to pay for braces. Even though he may really need them.
