That's a lot of commas...Your question isn't clear to me but I'll do my best to answer: My point isn't about measuring the value of a commodity (corn, clothes, oil etc) compared to human lives. It's about measuring the quality of human life in both scenarios.

Pure numbers discussion: If the US did nothing, the largest credible estimation of death was 2.2M people in a country that has about 9M deaths per year on average. Some of that 2.2M were very likely to die in 2020 without covid. And of the 9M who are going to die in 2021, a large amount of them would have died early in 2020 due to covid so 2021 deaths would have actually been something less than 9M.

Now, imagine the quality of life if we have 45% unemployment. A pure depression in every sense of the word. Starving families, communities resorting to theft, suicides rise through the roof.

The question we're faced with is what is the best balance of those two extremes. Claiming that we should crash out way of life to

Agreed.

Lol. An "A" frame house would do that too i suppose

Zombie, you can't possibly know that to be true.

Yuck. Sounds like a stagnant company in general.

Most companies are looking for great people to take on larger roles. A lack of the desired people is typically what holds companies back from expansion. Is it possible that you're making vast generalizations based off the fact that your career isn't moving as fast as you'd like?

Take it or leave it, i'm going to give you some advise: The types of people who we're looking for to take on new/additional responsibilities are not the kinds of people who believe everything that happens at the executive levels is wrong. People don't get promotions by insulting their bosses. They get them by learning from them.

Exactly who are you referring to? And what would their "letting go" look like?

Ha^
Nice
