These comparisons happen all the time in government.
Do you get more value out of spending $1m (ie: 100 000 person hours of taxes at $10/hr) on saving a few people's lives through improving a highway's safety, through a vaccination program, or an exercise program?
Or just let people keep an extra $10, take an hour off work, and lose 0.0003% of their life (on average!) by increasing their risk of harm in a highway collision?
