Yes, but at what cost?
Sometimes the costs aren’t worth the savings. If we save 1000 lives in an earthquake at a cost of hundred of billions in contruction costs, then what benefit did we get? It would have been better to spend the money elsewhere.[/quote]
It’s not the people it’s the economic losses.
A life is worth 2 million, but a. Company can produce billions.
