That's a ridiculous number.

Nobody is putting $7 million on the life of old people riddled with other illnesses and weaknesses before they get the virus.

Nearly all of them don't work and haven't for quite some time. Nearly all of them are drawing from Social Security. Nearly all of them were already bleeding the healthcare system. Nearly all of them have organs that were used for a very long life and are worthless as transplants to healthy people when they pass. Absolutely none of them are pumping the amount of money required into a life insurance policy that would leave their family with $7 million when they die.

The fact that the article would state something so ludicrous makes the numbers they came up with for every other point suspect.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

As of 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency set the value of a human life at $9.1 million. Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration put it at $7.9 million — and the Department of Transportation figure was around $6 million. Are any of these the right answer?

There is kind of an official price tag on human life. We can tell you what it is. One human life is worth about US$10 million.

How Much Is a Human Life Actually Worth?
As the US economy reopens amid a deadly pandemic, a dire question looms. Let's weigh the risks—and do the math.
In 1981, an economist named Kip Viscusi suggested using VSL to make these decisions. As he later wrote, the math was pretty simple. The odds said that about 1 in 10,000 Americans died on the job every year—a risk of 1/10,000. And in return, people got paid an extra $300 a year for incurring that risk. So OK: 10,000 workers get $3 million in total to risk one of them dying. The VSL was $3 million, or about $8.9 million adjusted for inflation. Today, estimates for VSL hover between $9 million and $11 million.

I'm going to assume that this $7 Million per life lost is an average for every single American, regardless of age and/or potential.

Most people on the bottom rung are never going to have the opportunity to output enough to even cover what they consumed, let alone $7 Million during the span of their entire lifetimes.

And most people by a large margin who have died of Covid were well past their prime, not even capable of any economic output, and spending the rest of their lives sucking at the teet.

Tell the author of that article to use real world factors instead of bastardizing numbers to make his or her point.

In the alternate timeline where Biden wins, the Legacy Media will almost immediately stop talking about it and then it will slowly fall down the collective memory hole as other stories make people look the other way.

In our timeline where Trump wins, the Legacy Media will continue to lie about it and blow it way out of proportion, but eventually people are going to look around and face the reality that hardly anybody dies of this barely lethal virus and they look like a bunch of big, dumb, coward assholes wearing those masks all day long.

I'm not gonna read the article to you and then explain it over and over until you finally, after 40 years, get the point, but you've made it perfectly clear you have never understood what life is worth. If you had, you won't have wasted a decade of your own life doing nothing.

Bolivia Shows Why Imperialists Work To Keep Populations Propagandized

-work-to-keep-populations-propagandized/

Bolivia has reversed the US-backed coup which saw its leftist president Evo Morales ousted from the lithium-rich nation after a landslide victory last year. Another landslide victory for a previous member of Morales’ cabinet named Luis Arce has restored power to the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party after a year of rule by the coup regime.

Contrary to what a recent Guardian headline asserts this was not a “stunning comeback” for MAS but a widely anticipated repudiation of the false claims that were spun by western narrative managers that Morales had rigged the election last year in a dictatorial assault upon democracy. Two landslide victories in as many years is neither “stunning” nor a “comeback”, it’s just the people decisively making their will known two times.

Bolivia is still not in the clear; the US-centralized empire still has plenty of other avenues of attack through which to sabotage the will of the Bolivian people, and we may be certain that we will see them rolled out in the coming years if that empire still stands. But people are right to celebrate the fact that its preferred and primary avenue of attack has been thwarted.

Which is a good illustration of why imperialists pour so much energy into using propaganda to manipulate what people think and do. If you can’t manipulate people into supporting your actions, they’ll just wind up undoing all your handiwork. A coup was undone yesterday in Bolivia, a coup was undone in Venezuela in 2002, and coups will continue to be undone every time the people have the power to enact their will and can’t be propagandized or brutalized away from using it.

The great elephant in the room, around which so much of the behavior of establishment power revolves, is that there are many more ordinary human beings than there are sociopathic dominators trying to exploit them. This fact rarely enters the minds of the rank-and-file citizenry, but for the manipulators responsible for engineering the continuation and expansion of the imperialist oligarchic status quo, it is always at the center of their attention.

The powerful fear the people. Always have, always will. They are at all times acutely aware that there’s not actually anything stopping the public from using the power of their numbers to take back everything their rulers stole from them and doing whatever they like to their former oppressors. We’re like a giant the size of a mountain who is in an abusive relationship with a tiny little man; we might not think too much about how we could squash him like an insect whenever we like, but he most certainly does.

History means something. And when you can remember it and watch others who forget doomed to repeat it over and over again, you can actually come off as quite prophetic in your predictions.

If you were about 2 IQ points lower than you are, you'd think I was doing magic.

But I'll give you and your pathetic brainlet the benefit of the doubt here and just call it a very educated guesstimate of what is to come.

Just like anything else, we'll have to wait a while before I can spit-roast you with all that crow.

Is there a current nickname for Nancy P that goes to her shriveled walnut-sized brain? Nobody credits the inept junior-high mean-girl snark she throws at Trump. And her political calculations are 180 of where she needs to be. The impeachment was a disaster, Adam Schiff is a bad joke who needs to be put in a corner, and her stand on unemployment aid looks like she's holding it hostage for political gain. NONE of this is going to bring democrats any credit as a party.


I have no idea who she answers to, or if she was thought of as so unimportant she was left to her own devices. But my impression is she has so tarnished the democratic brand, that, given Joe's weak credentials - she's sinking him.

I've actually defended Biden against any sexual allegations. I'm not a Democrat hypocrite who flip flops on that issue when it suits me.

That being said, there are a lot of kid fuckers in politics and in hollywood. And they come from both sides.

It shouldn't even be a thing that somebody keeps a tally of who does it more. One is too many.
