1. Let that resonate . . .

2. The right answer

Well said

3. Take that, Kevin Madden & Chris Christie.

Andrew Cuomo knows that all people matter, and has the moral fortitude to say so.

4. Haven't heard from the Right to Lifers.

They sure have been quiet.

5. Nah, they're out there screaming at cops that they need a haircut and want to get waited on

They are out in force at those rallies.

They have no leg stand on when it comes to medical intervention to keep someone alive.

6. But it's the other party that's pro life right? n/t

10. The other party is rife with contradictions. They would make Vulcans crazy if Vulcans

had emotions.

8. Well, no. It is less than priceless.

I knew a lawyer who worked on a lawsuit related to deaths on a runway. There were mostly Turks, Americans and Japanese on board who died. The settlement, this was in seventies I think, was $100,000 per Turk, $1 million per American, $10 million per Japanese. I think those are the amounts she told me were paid by the Airline. She told me that in Japan there are closer family ties so more relatives are entitled to compensation. Grand parents get paid there but not in the US. This conversation was in a bar 40 years ago so I can’t be sure my memory is accurate. But I am pretty certain there were big differences based on nationality and I am pretty sure Japanese got much more than Americans.

And we do price deaths. The highway department will install a guard rail based on cost per expected life saved. If I recall correctly a guard rail will be installed if the cost is less than $7.5 million dollars per expected life saved, if I remember correctly. Something like that.

9. Yes every life is precious

Unless you are an ogliarchy/ tyrant.

Thier lives seem to exist to hurt all of us who can feel empathy and compassion. I'm out of fucks to give for republicans and ogliarches.
At some point a person can be so abusive evil and toxic you have to stop caring about them and stop looking for the humanity in them when they never had it to begin with.

11. It's not the same answer in MAGAt Land

That is the most amazing thing.

I've always questioned their humanity.

Now I have proof.
