Trump Adviser Suggests Putting Workers In Spacesuits

Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore spoke to the New York Times about what it would take to reopen the economy during a pandemic.

I was thinking this morning, and this is just kind of a thought experiment because I was thinking about this — why don’t we just put everybody in a space outfit or something like that?

He added: “You have to make 200 million of these, but it wouldn’t have cost $3 trillion to do that.
