BTW, why do you send such a hostile response without trying to answer my question? I genuinely just wanted to understand the Parent.

  Frustration in a time of triage. You don’t discuss Philosophy or process while a patient is bleeding out in the table. We should be copycatting solutions we’ve already hashed out before. As others have also asked, why are we discussing this now instead of six months ago? If we had anyone with any leadership in either the Legislative or Executive Branch of the Federal government, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.

    These are state issues, not federal issues. Other states have handled things differently, with different results. NYC chose a different path from e.g. Florida (which is closer to the 'Swedish' approach) which has led to a different outcome.

    I can understand the frustration, but not the tone. We are discussing this here today because it arrived on the front page of HN today. We are not a triage team - we are a bunch of people trying to understand the world better. Kindness goes a long way to understanding - if you want people to see things from your side, I suggest not attacking their questions but instead question their views.
