So Twitter's mad at Ben Shapiro because he had the audacity to consider the costs and the benefits of reopening the economy and for the sin of including all of the costs and all of the benefits in this calculation. Because people were mad at him for other reasons I guess he is the worst person in the world and he wants to kill your grandmother. That makes sense, right? If somebody considers all the costs and all the benefits and says they should be all weighed, therefore logically he wants to kill your grandmother. Well I didn't even know that until today but I found that on the internet.

I cannot speak for Ben Shapiro but I can say this. The adults in the room, the adults can pick who's going to die. And if nobody else can do it I guess we have to find some leaders who can. Because we're coming to decision points. You know, do you die from the economy killing you or does grandma get a few years shaved off? And of course there's risk to everybody else and there's the organ damage and yeah, there's a million things.

I would guess without personally asking Ben Shapiro that if I said to him, Ben do you think we should consider only some of the costs and some of the benefits or maybe just look at them all, I'm just guessing he would say, well why don't we look at them all, Scott? That's exactly what I would say. I'm just guessing. I'm not reading his mind so I could be way off on that but I'm not.

So it's just weird to see somebody get pilloried for being the adult. I mean you know I give him credit. You don't have to agree with it. In fact I don't know exactly what it is he thinks we should be doing that's different. But you have to appreciate that somebody can say here's my choice. It's going to be tough on a certain class of people. All things considered somebody's got to make the decision. That's the way I'd go. Now even if you don't agree with it you have to respect that, right? Because that's ultimately somebody's gonna have to do that. It'll be the president. But you know have some empathy for how hard that is. If you're not willing to do it yourself don't feel like you can criticize the president when he does. Because he's gonna have to do that. That's a super tough decision.
