a bank note's worth is just the paper, the value attached it it is fictive/imaginary.

the 1 and 0's in the bank system are just numbers, banks can even "make-up" more any time they like (to lend out ect), and actually often do.

You can "print" more bank notes, and just add fictive amounts of new money at banks and bank accounts.


You cannot give someone a life back.
Thats the point Immersiveunreality is trying to make.

economy issue is small and tiny, and easily fixed, compaired to this virus outbreak.

Technically true for everything, including lives. Actually, the "value" of money is much less "imaginary" than the value of a life. There's a pretty general consensus for the value of money that nobody goes against. You can try to claim your $1 note is worth much more than other people say it is... but you'll just be laughed at. While the "value" of a life has no consensus. You'd probably get a different answer from every person you asked.

Oh and the economy issue is small and easily fixed? And you can do that by printing more bank notes? Really? Tell that to 1920s Germany. Their economic issues and printing of new notes was a factor in the great depression of the 30s and the rise of the Nazi party and subsequently the 2nd world war. Economic issues were also a factor in the fall of the Roman empire. But yeah, small and easily fixed...

Thats easy to say when you talk about "a" life, and not your own.

I guess we could fix the over crowded hospitals in near future, by just shooting anyone that gets too sick right? who cares about human life? USA first country to "fix" the issue of this virus, why let it bother our economy, we choose money over life. Imagine trump giveing a speech like that?
(above is me being as silly as you are, its a horrible discussion about where to draw lines of the value of a human life)

The issue is currently (with the economy talks you guys have), that workers are loseing their jobs.
All the state has to do, is offer 100% compensation for every single worker, forced to stay home.

Boom, no jobs lost. No companies fireing people.
Cant afford food? make sure everyone gets enough money to buy foods.

^ easy fix's that probably wont cost all that much (compaired to doing nothing, and workforces being laid off ect).
