That's not the point. The point is that the comparison between people's lives and money is invalid.

Because scarce resources are a real thing, there necessarily should be a value to life, otherwise you are just ignoring reality.

I like how people downvote this, yet when stepping over homeless people in SV think "I only make $100,000+, and I need every bit of it, even if $20 could drastically improve this human's welfare.

Then when they board a flight on their own: "millions is not too much to spare! No cost is too great for my life!"

It is a double standard.
