So... if we're OK with killing 3% of the population to reopen the economy...

I have a modest proposal. We could just kill everybody on the Forbes billionaires list. Way less dead (only 3,000 or so) and the $7.8 Trillion we take from them would allow *excellent* medical care.
No? That's immoral? I thought so too, but you were the one who suggested 9 million dead to reopen the economy would be fine.

My proposal reduces that to 1/3000th *and* restarts the economy with a giant bang. Almost 50% increase of the GDP!
Still immoral?

One doesn't just go around killing people to add more money to the GDP?

That's what I'm saying, too. Glad we agree.
