2. If it saves just one life…

   We are to assume any measure—no matter how costly or impractical—is worth it, because life is priceless. Except of course life is not priceless. Here, allow me to put a price on life.

   Let’s start with 18 years of public school at $12,400/year (https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=66) (Let’s just call room and board at home with mom and … free) Now then, 18 years old to 65 years old retired is 47 years of available work time. That’s 97,760 hours assuming no overtime. And we are assuming no overtime because weekends! If you worked your whole life never missing a day, took no holidays, or vacations, no sick leave, and retired at 65 at minimum wage minus your public schooling, you’re worth about $485,560.00. So we can conclude that one human life at a minimum is worth about half a million bucks, and that’s assuming perfect attendance.

   Imagine, then the price of making every American walk thirty minutes a day as a law. After all if it saves just one life…

   While I don’t make this, according to Google the Average American makes $24.50/hour.Again—according to Google—123 million people work in the USA. If they lost one half hour every day for a half-hour mandatory work exercise law (works like lunch but instead of food, cardio) then the cost in productivity would be at a minimum 7.5 billion per year…To save just one half-million dollar life.

   I’m no math wiz but … If you add billions and billions to the ATF budget to save one measly human life, meanwhile inconveniencing hundreds of millions… Wait!

   OMG I just figured out Obamacare!

   • 1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first
     have to un-insure the insured.
     2. Next, we require the newly un-insured to be re-insured.
     3. To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required
     to pay extra charges to be re-insured.
     4. The extra charges are required so that the original insured,
     who became un-insured, and then became re-insured, can pay
     enough extra so that the original un-insured can be insured in a manner that makes it
     ‘free-of-charge’ to them.
