And is it still the lesser of two evils if you're one of the "extra" deaths? Your spouse? Your parent?.Your sibling? Your child?
Or for that matter, Joe the local bus driver, or Sharon, the local nurse. Are you willing to sacrifice them?
We've already borrowed $17,000 for every working American to hand out during the virus. Borrowing is not a resource. Today's children will have to pay for this debt, or at minimum pay for the interest on this debt. Between me and my two boys, that's $51,000. Free shit isn't really free.
