gollark: You have to make tradeoffs between saving lives now and keeping the economy from imploding, and can't just go "we'll save one extra life even if it costs a trillion $".
gollark: We use a lot of economic output on stuff like healthcare and education and whatnot which have a large impact on future quality of life.
