Keeping Burger King open is a trolley problem.

I mean if the police started shooting people I imagine that would spark an actual civil war that would among other things make the pandemic worse.

A) From what I read they think a bat transmitted it to a different animal that they ate, they just know for sure it derives from bats.

B) You don't need to take the most extreme measure to prevent people from socializing you just like it because you love being overly dramatic.

C) It's still not a trolley problem because they MIGHT infect people with a disease that MIGHT kill people. The people not getting shot are going to be the people who were probably safe from the disease to begin with.

D)z Nuts

E) **** em? This is a self induced destruction caused by the ignorance of American culture and would honestly be sweet deserved justice if our stupidity caused a huge chunk of our population to die. Or as my friend's little sister said when she saw Florida opened their beaches back up, "This is natural selection."

Thats a fine response. Still a trolley problem. You might be right. However, the police have been shooting people for being black for decades and being black isn’t even contagious and that hasn’t caused a civil war. Kent State didn’t cause a civil war. But it COULD cause a civil war so that deserves to be considered when solving this trolley problem. Another outcome could be people stay in self-quarentine. Probably quite likely even.

How about making people pay a fine? Or putting them in jail?

Why do you always jump to the most violent and extreme reaction for everything?

A Ok
B That’s your answer I think
C “Might” doesn’t make it not a trolley problem just a more complicated one.
D Good one
E 80% true I’d say

It’s just the way I think. Fines and jail don’t eliminate the aggressive vector.

Still not a trolley problem.

And trolley problems arent meant to be solved.

Lucem Ferre · 04-17-2020, 04:16 PM

Okay, here's a bigger stretch of the trolley problem.

You openly pledging allegiance to Trump and spreading propaganda to overly credit him for something good is what's going to be factor that would lead to Trump era fascism, a potential civil war and more policies that put low income workers' lives at risk. Should we shoot anybody for doing so, including you, to save us from the potential deaths of Trump era fascism?

Edit: My friend's little brother called me a square because I didn't want to go pick up midget hookers during a pandemic. Okay, OH. Let's shoot em. Shoot em all.

So if there wasn't a pandemic?
