The government does not approve of death for the sake of business profitability & has never stated any such thing. But it does value individual liberty & allow individual citizens to make free will choices & have the liberty to take risks with their life if they want to. Government values the life of all of its citizens, from the homeless to those on their death beds. It's only the Nazi & Hitler types that don't.



See my comment above.

Death is inevitable no matter what mode of transportation government allows, whether it is cars, buses, trains, planes, skytrains, horses, chariots or walking. Shall we go back to before the invention of the wheel? Would the people let the government ban motor vehicles or reduce the speed limit to 10 miles an hour?

It's difficult to argue with a fascist X- Files

Well, if you think they're going to come out and say that, you're fucking crazy.

By not lowering an interstate speed limit despite interstate deaths, the government is telling you death is acceptable. If they didn't think so, they'd lower the speed limits.

Come on man, this is simple.

Have they not sworn to uphold the constitution which respects human individual liberty & the pursuit of happiness (including those who choose higher risk activities & employment)? So you're calling them all liars & saying they have some secret conspiracy going on to sacrifice human lives for the sake of the almighty dollar? And i'm the crazy one?

They do lower the speed limits in certain areas, near schools & hospitals, etc. So if you're saying higher speed limits mean they are sacrificing human life for the economy, then when they have lower limits in these areas they are seeking to save human lives at the expense of the economy. And following that reasoning, if they were really pro economy, why don't they make the speed limits unlimited everywhere? The thing is, if they reduced the limits to 10 MPH everywhere to save lives, lives would still be lost. If fact, no matter what they allowed re transportation, lives would still be lost. So how many lives lost is too many? Shall we go back to before the wheel was invented to save as many lives as possible. Perhaps now you're beginning to see how silly your argument is. Also what does any of this have to do with the COVID-19 crises?

See above. Not so simple.

We need to move along because this is dumb guy. There are hundreds of deaths on our nation’s interstates each day. If the government wants to lower or eliminate the deaths, they would take action in regards to the speed limit to make that happen.

It’s really that simple.

First of all, it's impossible to eliminate deaths via transportation. People can & or do die by all modes of transportation. Even walking.

Secondly, governments have taken action to reduce deaths, by lower speed limits in certain areas & tougher penalties on drunk drivers, e.g. taking away drivers licences. Such hurts the economy, if your theory were true, but helps save lives.

Thirdy, the government has to balance their requirement to protect human life with their oaths to uphold human individual liberty & the pursuit of happiness. Clearly they accept that the present laws do that. It has nothing to do with the economy or the almighty dollar, as you insist. That's you looking through your rose coloured glasses at yourself & thinking it's some kind of secret government conspiracy, when it's just a reflection of your own soul.

It isn’t a theory. It’s fact.

Keeping interstate traffic moving has nothing to do with the economy? Gotcha.

No, the reasons why the government doesn't lower the speed limit to your 10 MPH to save lives has nothing to do with the economy & your secret government liars conspiracy theory:

"... the government has to balance their requirement to protect human life with their oaths to uphold human individual liberty & the pursuit of happiness.

Lower it to 10 MPH? Really? Shall we go back to the days of horses & buggies? Or would you prefer to before the wheel was invented, to save even more lives?

on automobile deaths and stats. It is not the speed limit that is the determining factor in deaths, it is skill of the driver and now cars are much safer and made better to travel on the highway. Deaths going down has nothing to do with speed. Speed limits were lowered so they could make money by giving out more tickets

Yes, skill certainly is a factor in the number of deaths. Also level of intoxication, etc. Also speed limits, e.g. less deaths at 5 MPH than 100 MPH. But is the notion of a reduction in speed limits that takes us back to the stone age anything but a joke?

I don't know what else to tell you. You just aren't grasping a basic concept here. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. Don't know where you come up with that one.

What concept?

According to you governments have determined to let people die in car accidents rather than lower to speed limit to 10 MPH which would save lives. And they are willing to sacrifice these lives because higher speed limits are good for the economy. And they would never come out & say this publicly, as that would be crazy. So it's a secret they've kept to themselves. IOW they're conspiring:

It looks like those cities aren't part of your conspiracy theory.
