"The Somali Democratic Republic (Somali: Jamhuuriyadda Dimuqraadiya Soomaaliyeed, Arabic: الجمهورية الديمقراطية الصومالية al-Jumhūrīyah ad-Dīmuqrāṭīyah aṣ-Ṣūmālīyah, Italian: Repubblica Democratica Somala) was the name that the Marxist–Leninist military government gave to Somalia under President Major General Mohamed Siad Barre, after seizing power in a coup d'état on 21 October 1969.[4][5][6] The coup came a few days after a bodyguard assassinated Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, the nation's second President.[6] Barre's administration ruled Somalia for the next 21 years until Somalia collapsed into anarchy in 1991.

[Anonymous No.17993053]

so he's complaining no one did the analysis but doesn't present it himself?

at 0.2% kill rate & 50% infection, that's about 100,000 under 40s dead in america.
at 0.85% kill rate that's about 340,000 dead 40-60
lets assume people over 60 are worthless for the calculation.

the valuation part is a bit difficult because what are those people worth what, and to who? To the US govt, a citizen is worth about $2 million because that's the value they generate over their lifetime. cut it down to $1.4 million because they've already used up some years.

so our "roam free strategy", causes a loss of $616 Billion over the long term. Now considering the government earns 3.5 Trillion per year, the most it should be willing to pay is slowing down the economy by 20% for a year to 100% stamp out the virus. otherwise its not economical.

but the simple fact is early prevention would have been worth it if done properly. the government didn't have to lose the $600 billion if they'd shut down foreign travel earlier.

Why do libertarians are hard cock-suckers for markets especially right now?

[Anonymous No.17995835]

Scientism really has gotten out of hand. All these cyborg fuckers can think about is their ‘objective rational truth’. I hope they are the first people liquified by the objective rational cold hard fact Super AI (created in their autistic myopic image) that decides humanity wasn’t worth the fiscal or environmental impact.

Any criticism of the religion of Scientism is met with “Hey there champ, I’m just asking questions. Hold your horses!” It’s never ‘just asking questions’. The whole point is to amass enough data to brow beat and mystify everyone into following your world view because you ‘proved it’ with ‘the scientific method’. Their chosen point of view HAS to be seen as correct because it is backed up by data that THEY collected, THEY analyzed, and THEY signed off on. “You can’t argue with me, I am merely the Oracle of Truth, it speaks through me! Are you denying reality itself? It’s captured in my graphs and equations.”

Economists are the worst because it’s the softest of ‘soft sciences’, 1% science 99% soft. They make broad sweeping assumptions about human behavior and are mystified when nobody is a rational actor who follows their completely objective market principles. “What are you doing, think about your marginal utility!? I wrote papers proving what you were going to do, you can’t just do something else!”

No, only that is has a use and is now overstepping it’s boundaries. Science is a way to codify and make sense of a reality which exists entirely independent of our human minds. It’s about us coming to terms with what is. Scientists discover things in the exact same way sea explorers did: they chance upon something that was always there.

Unfortunately, science itself has become a dogmatic religious institution. As the scope of what we as humans are set on knowing expands and becomes more complex, scientists are now involved in (and explicitly undermine) philosophy, religion, policy making, and the structure of society. Have you ever considered why we suddenly see scientists, economists, mathematicians, engineers become forerunners in public thought? It’s not because their occupations prove them to be intelligent, and thus worthy of being trusted in other areas. No, it’s because as scientists et al, they ARE truth itself. They have rational science brains and it has brought them clarity in all fields, all situations, all aspects of reality. They have been blessed by Science!

When these fuckers entangle themselves in the very structure of humanity it is by their own design. Again, they will say “Hey I’m just asking questions! I’m just doing my part!” No, they purposefully insert themselves into any and every conversation so that they can shape things to their liking.

Are you saying that science should stay contained to it's branch instead of having a technocrat be president? If that's what you're saying, than I agree. It's the same mindset of having a computer scientist be governor because he'll help technology.

It has to be approached this way. Go read through the Twitter chain from OP, Technocrat Tommy immediately pulls the “Nothing wrong with collecting data” card. You’re not Uatu the Watcher my friend, you clearly have an OPINION, and are looking for data to support it. A lack of supporting data would not change his OPINION, it would simply mean that he can’t (without getting lynched) come forward with it.

They’re all cowards. In his OPINION economical matters more than humanity’s health, especially if there’s a significant enough impact. He just won’t say that. He needs his data first, because then he can say “Hey, I’m just showing you what the DATA is telling me. Sure this is harsh, but the DATA said it, I’m just an objective observer.”
