"What that paragraph is saying is when you set policy, you must consider all the ramifications not only a single one."When the choice is between zero cost and no pedestrian deaths, there is no real choice. "By considering the possibility no matter how remote, of a pedestrian fatality and saying that is more important than anything else, you can make some unwise decisions." It IS more important than anything else. How the fuck are you such a sociopath that you don't understand that? "You can spend all your resources on trying to prevent them at any cost while neglecting other priorities that are just as important." There aren't traffic issues that are just as important. And nobody has ever said resources should not be spent on other issues. "You could post all your traffic agents at intersections to help pedestrians cross the street instead of them giving out parking tickets depriving the city if needed revenue." Posting them at intersections does nothing to help pedestrians cross the street. "Of course that would never happen. But let us suppose de Blasio decided to do just that. If I stated it was an over reaction and the city could not afford to lose that revenue, would you then argue I was valuing revenue over pedestrians' lives and he should be allowed to do that?" That would be up to the mayor, so yes he WOULD be allowed to do that. It would be stupid however. |
