      Did you just learn about the term "diminishing marginal utility" and think it's some kind of universal law of economics that applies to everything man Fucking A There can be both diminishing AND INCREASING marginal utilities (or disutilities)

      Just like there are both economies and diseconomies of scale You don't know which one it is until you actually look at the situation

      You didn't even think this through, disutility means going in the opposite direction of utility For something that has a generally diminishing marginal utility, taking it AWAY has generally INCREASING marginal DISutility

      I.e. if going from having $0 to $50k changes your life more than going from $50k to $100k, then once you do have $100k, taking away the first $50k hurts you less than taking away the second $50k Because it's the same thing, it's the same graph going in the opposite direction

      There IS such a thing as diminishing marginal disutility. The first lash of the whip contributes more pain than the tenth, etc.

      My God you really seriously think that the dead people don't "count", huh That someone dying only has *emotional* impact and once the real working people become numb to it the impact will fade

      It's almost like killing off a big chunk of the population that *works in jobs* will result in, at best, a period of massive chaos as industries collapse because they don't have anyone to work in them and they can't appeal to the still-living people because *everyone died there*.

      And this is an actual concrete point about this specific crisis that people who blather on about the abstraction of "marginal disutility" don't get The current "threat profile" we think we have depends on things staying stable and not accelerating

      The faster the virus spreads, the broader the profile of the affected population becomes, for myriad reasons, to do with both the shape of the economy and how the virus literally biologically works (the more times you breathe in the virus in a day the worse it hits)

          This may be something we should have to vaccinate yearly against. anti-vaxxers would no doubt throw a wrench in that as well and will basically be back at square fucking one all because Karen can't handle the idea of raising a child that isn't "normal"
