How much respiratory disseases and deaths asociated with polution do to GDP? (Sincerely asking)

• tim333 10mo ago
  I'm not sure GDP is a good guide there since whether you drop dead at 60 or 80 doesn't effect the GDP much. Though obviously there's a value to the individual there.

    In most of the civilized world the goverment takes a big chunk of the GDP for health care so their citizens dont die. Does your goverment just let people die?
    • tim333 10mo ago
      No but the treatment doesn't vary so much depending on age. You only die once. It's probably cheaper for them if you die young.

        When people who pay taxes die young the goverment has less money. Dont be obtuse.
