It nearly killed billions of dollars in real value and required untold thousands of taxpayer-funded employees working through the weekend to unfuck the situation.

If I drive recklessly, I am still guilty of reckless driving even though I didn't hit anyone or anything.

This comment of someone equating violence to monetary value makes me think humanity should be killed off.

I see in your post history that you're a comedian, so I can only hope that this is meant to be funny, because the irony here is layered on so thickly.

There is actually a money<->life tradeoff (because money can buy medical treatment), but that requires the value to be actually destroyed/created.

This reminds me of that dumb meme: "you criticize society, and yet you participate in it... Interesting".

In a capitalistic system, money is power, and messing with it has serious consequences.

I'd rather be punched in the face than have all my savings drained, for example (as long as it's not Mike Tyson doing the punching).
