    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but when you have captured the government through lobbying you just push the cost onto the tax payer and take your yacht out instead.

      Keep everyone uneducated, breeding, and making money for the 1%. It’s the conservative way.

      Lots of us will die, but not the billionaires, and probably not most of the millionaires, and enough will live that all the losses of people and resources will just be the cost of doing business.

      Look at all the money they won’t have to spend on healthcare for those who die! And those who remain - just cattle at that point to keep the rich wealthy.

      Close enough parallel to cover it, I think.
