Leadership.

Will be a presidential candidate in 8 years

I find it interesting you came to that conclusion...

But you were silent when we've had actual* posters on this board WISH death on people who congregate

...priorities I guess

The fact that you care more about what a moron on a message board says about you than the actually horrific implications of "living normally" right now says a lot about your priorities too.

A friendly reminder that the government could ban all driving and close all roads and save 35,000 lives per year.

A friendly reminder that the government alright drastically limits your freedom to drive, specifically to save lots of life. But continue with your really dumb example which shows you are literally fine with hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths.

Also 63 deaths per million the past four weeks. Which puts them in a good position to reopen along with other countries such as Germany, Denmark, FINLAND. Once caseloads fall below a certain level, it becomes feasible to contain outbreaks with testing, tracing and quarantine. With an enormous number of cases it is just not practical. There are some parts of the United States where cases are low enough to adopt this sort of approach.

Revealing that you guys want to criticize trump for comments made about the severity of the virus in February but not a word on something like this.

You should stop pretending this is anything bit a partisan issue for you.

Seriously. We have all of these rules to save lives from traffic accidents. Speed limits. Having to pass a test. No drunk driving. No driving and texting. A large expenditure on cops to enforce those rules. Traffic cameras. Laws that send people to jail for vehicular homicide. The requirement to buy insurance. Auto inspections. Mandates on seat belts and air bags.

And yet... were fine with tens of thousands of deaths per year by allowing it.

Monsters!

You seem to be getting more emotional lately.

Hope the lockdown isn't causing you too much stress

Cars are a great invention but definitely next on the chopping block for automation. Automation that would certainly occur sooner if self driving cars didn’t have to account for human drivers.

So to your point, maybe we shouldn’t allow it :)

I'm all for automation but in the meantime I'm willing to accept the risk of dying in exchange for the freedom to efficiently move from place to place

you are definitely taking your apples to oranges analogy far too serious, I see.

[nsacpi]

I kinda of like this analogy. We have a vast and expensive regulatory apparatus that exists to make cars safe and save lives on the road. Ditto air travel.

I'm not quite sure why it's a bad analogy.

Don't know what you see as emotional in that straightforward factual statement. And I'm not the one hysterically raving about imagined tyranny.
