Pragmatism is generally not discussed in terms of things you'd "love" to see. That's an emotional connection to the statement that you made, not a logical one.
Untrue.
I would love to see artificial inflation due to corporate greed reigned in significantly and sharply. In turn, this would provide more financial motility to the average American. That's not emotional, that's also purely pragmatic. "Love" can be used as an expression for a desired outcome without emotional investment.

Holy shit that's cold. You must be really fun at parties.
It is cold. But whenever conflict is discussed, there is little room for emotion in making decisions necessary to ensure that the adversary is defeated with a finality that prevents them from being adversaries in the future.
As for parties, never been my scene. So whether I am "fun" at them or nor is wholly irrelevant to me.
I think we've hit philosophical bedrock with the shovel of your logic. Let's forget about this and move on.
