Across the world governments spend billions on measures to curb these.
It would be significantly higher if we didn't have speed zones, cameras, police etc.
Maybe in Musk's world view we should cut this spending and not worry about preventible deaths.
- manicdee 7y agoOr maybe in Musk’s view if we did at least as much for pandemics as we do for vehicle safety there wouldn’t be an issue? In a car you drive safely and wear a seatbelt. The government mandates certain standards for designs including braking capacity and passenger safety. For diseases you can socially isolate and wash your hands. The government can properly fund disease research and control.
