What do you reckon is the monetary value of a life?

As a starting point, lifetime earnings should average out somewhere over £1m in todays money under reasonable assumptions, so that gives us a lower bound.

They claim that snorting coke and masturbating cure coronavirus.

And people say I'm crazy for thinking this is the apocalypse. I'm sorry, a world this stupid isn't fit for a crisis of this magnitude.

Those things might make you worry less about it, and it's the fear that's the most dangerous thing at the moment.

The fact that you don't care if you live or die and cannot focus on things beyond your personal comfort is not enlightenment it is an emotional crisis you're failing to process.

How bad does he have it in personal life when he's relatively posh compared to everyone else but constantly emos a desire for everyone to kill each other off through spreading coronavirus?

Rich and posh are not the same thing. I am definitely not posh.

The thing is though the people at risk of dying from coronavirus are the people who are likely to have the least lifetime remaining.

The populists also advocate for social spending. Though I’m pretty sure that Mussolini 2.0 will come to power in Italy once this is over.

I want the United States Government to take every Instagram and snapchat thot, I mean model, and send them to me during the crisis. Also I want enough marijuana to last me a whole year assuming i smoke a joint once every four hours. Also I wanna be able to quarantine with my ten closest friends. And keep my parents in their house. Do that, and I wont go outside for a year.

This is Italy. They're going to blame it on migrants.

True, but aren't the people who'll blame it on migrants already in government? Seems to me that they'll be they'll be taking a lot of blame themselves.

I reckon it is an utterly irrelevant factor.

No. The people who would blame it on the migrants are in the opposition

The U.S. Dept. of Commerce estimates it at about $9 million

We already have Putin.

Hitler 2 will be interesting, though.

Italy will probably go extreme. Whether left or right probably depends more on who can campaign well than on the nature of the crisis.

Every time people kill each other the news pretends the last thing that happens was the one that really mattered. Look at any case of "murder over video game/ice cream/price of bagels"

Of course the United States Department of Commerce would run a study like that and give an actual monetary number.

They knew they could do it, but they never asked if they should do it.

Which is what Biden is doing.
