It's almost like the trolley problem was created to wrestle with the horrible choices life sometimes puts in front of us, instead of just giving us something to talk about in philosophy class.
The trolley problem typically illustrates how easy the choice is. Like in this case: Sacrifice no people so elites can live in luxury, sacrifice some people so elites can live in luxury, or sacrifice alot of people so elites can live in greater luxury. The obvious answer is sacrifice no people because elites living in luxury is of no benefit to anyone but the elites and if they didn't live in luxury they would still get their needs met.
