Nonsense!

Economic central planning has been proven to work in a number of outstanding examples: the USSR, the Warsaw Pact, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela to name just a few.

"If everything we do saves just one life, I will be happy," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Friday, as he announced a new round of restrictions on businesses and individuals.”

Under that logic, if anythig you do costs just one life, you should be hanged.

Simplistic socialist asshole.
