Because it is practically unenforceable, and almost nobody considers 1 death for "economic activity" to be unacceptable, so by extension means that everyone holds an immoral world view, and everyone is violating your supposed natural human law...in which case, of what use is that law?
If everyone is evil, then nobody is evil.
- pmiller2 6y agoImperfection is not evil.
- bhupy 6y agoIndeed, it is not. To some people, opening the economy is “imperfect”, but acceptable.
- pmiller2 6y agoI don't consider it acceptable, but the number of people that would die if we literally just shut everything off (including "essential" services and utilities) is unacceptable. "The economy" as it exists today simply leaves too many people behind. When 8 billionaires have as much wealth as half the world, and when wealth is essentially freedom, that's what's unacceptable.
