An analogical thought experiment.
Person A lives in the main level of a house with all the modern first world comforts. Personal B lives on the roof of the same house with none of the aforementioned comforts and exposed to the elements year around. In fact, person A is able to enjoy those comforts because person B has been deprived of the same. The house may or may not have been designed to be so but that is how it is now. Person A and B are aware of each other's existence and their corresponding quality of life. Both occasionally wonder if their living arrangements are deliberate.
Given the above:
Person A says, "I live in one of the best houses out there. Sure the inequality needs to be addressed but it's still great".
Person B says, "I live in one of the best houses out there. Sure the inequality needs to be addressed but it's still great".
If one were to assign the attribute 'problematic' to only one of the two statements whose should it be?
