A comment on Sweden: higher Covid-19 death rate while failing to collect on economic gains. Parent comment
We abort 600K fetuses in the US every year. By our behavior, life is cheap.
You are just making up some arbitrary standard of "civilized society" that doesnt exist and is meaningless.
Economists have determined that people value their lives at about 100K. The govt through policy values a human life between 8 and 10 million
Right now you could spend $100 to save a life of a child in africa, yet instead you spend that money on frivolous luxuries.
