Isn’t it time to actually do some of this ‘balancing’ politicians and business leaders talk about with Covid? Right now there’s nothing on the Covid side of the see-saw, everything is on the economic side. A proposal. /1 https://t.co/0fviTqbWwm

That wave of death beginning in late 2021 was the result of deliberate government policy. Those families should be compensated, not just for trauma, but also for lost earnings. I propose a million bucks per life/family. Paid by National and State governments. /2 https://t.co/WsVrzX6smK

#amillionforbalance might do. Because the balance these leaders talk about is all economic, so let’s compensate those who gave their lives to restore the ‘booming’ economy. That curve of death is the blood that created that growth. /3

An estimated 20,000+ people will die as a result of this deliberate government policy, this year. ‘Excess’ deaths i.e. deaths caused by this policy. Avoidable deaths. We compensate people for government action for a lot less serious things. /4 https://t.co/o1LmiVr5of

It seems the exact sort of balance our leaders in politics and business had in mind. Economic balance. Time to restore that, with a million bucks to each family who loses somebody to Covid through deliberate government policy. That could be $20 billion this year alone. /5 https://t.co/0p0wyWOrWh

If you think that’s a lot, remember that’s the price of the ‘booming’ economy. Dead people. If government put a highway through your backyard, you’d get compensation. So if they kill your breadwinner or granny, #amillionforbalance seems entirely reasonable. /end
