Negotiations 101….
It might be easier to understand if you lived 200-500 years ago,
Sometimes when I am confused, it is just easier to not try to apply modern common sense and decency to an issue that makes zero sense.
This issue is so “charged” that there is no way to fix it for either side – because to “fix it” would demand that the other side give something up.
That is not going to happen.
