Politically I consider not only my short-term economic benefit but also long term structural, societal, and economic ramifications, mostly for the sake of my kids.
As I've said this current adventure is a bit over the top... guaranteed short-term economic pain (loss of profit sharing for sure), with lots of risk of a variety of potential bad outcomes. The ultimate end-state is still likely to be better than the old status quo, but of course that's not 100% either.
