This is a misapplication of a morally bankrupt argument.
That money cannot be spent elsewhere to save lives by Boeing in an area that is regulated by the FAA at the FAA's instruction.
So, yes, $10 million could be spent on education to prevent people making the argument that $10 million could be better spent on letting people be killed, thereby saving countless lives. But that's not what the question is here, and to pretend that it is represents a deeply bogus rhetorical move.
