    idk. Not that it matters but I’ve only ever heard it used when talking about unions or social safety nets. Not people being drowned because they are prople and not boats or people in boats in a metaphor. It’s part of the package. And honestly I just made up some hypothetical non town in this horribly fucking stupid thought experiment.
