Even Evers Ain't THIS Stupid

Fredo's big brother ordered all "non-essential" businesses in New York State to close, commenting that "....if everything we do saves just one life, I'll be happy."

PowerLine comments:

...This is profoundly stupid. When you are dealing with the lives of millions of people, everything you do–or don’t do–has consequences. When you drive thousands of businesses into bankruptcy, people die. When you unemploy millions of people, some of them die. When tens of millions live in more straitened circumstances, some of them die. There is robust social science research on this point. Shutting down New York’s “nonessential” businesses will kill. How many, we will never know. So Cuomo won’t have to take responsibility for his ill-advised action. And, of course, millions of lives will be blighted even when no one dies....

So write down this date because of what I say next:

Tony Evers has not closed ALL Wisconsin businesses, although he closed a LOT of them, probably without need.

For that I'll give Evers credit.  More credit than I can give Abp. Listecki.
