Decades ago, there was a joke that was already old:
Q: Which is worse, ignorance or apathy?
A: I don't know and I don't care.
That joke now has a name, and it's Mike Johnson.

Roughly from an old blues tune:
You can't lose what you ain't got
You don't miss what you ain't never had.
You can't lose what you ain't got
You don't miss what you ain't never had.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social is the expert, but Eric Hoffer said that "a feeling of superiority counteracts imitation" (The True Believer, section 80). In other words, if you want people to blend, then you want the poor, tired, huddled masses. Otherwise, sure, take the money.
