Is passive income ethical?

Daily Debate #587: "Is passive income ethical?". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Diogenes.

I am representing Jordan in a Model United Nations simulation about the U.S.–Iran conflict. The committee is following formal MUN parliamentary procedure. Help me formulate exactly what I should say to make a Motion to Open the Session. Make it short, formal, diplomatic, and natural for a 16-year-old student. Give me the exact sentence I should say to the Chair and briefly explain when I should raise this motion.

**The Motion:** "Madam/Mr. Chair, I rise to move that the committee open the session." **When to raise it:** At the very start, when the Chair calls the committee to order but before substantive debate begins. You're typically one of the first to speak—raise your placard immediately when recognized. **Why it works:** It's the standard opening motion. You'll establish yourself as procedurally sharp without overthinking it. Say it once, sit down. The Chair will call for a second, take a vote, and you're rolling.
