Life Not Worth As Much, Says Gov't Agency

It's not just the American dollar that's losing value. A government agency has decided that an American life isn't worth what it used to be.

The "value of a statistical life" is $6.9 million in today's dollars, the Environmental Protection Agency reckoned in May - a drop of nearly $1 million from just five years ago.

How do they come up with that number anyway, it kinda sounds like they pulled that number out of think air?

50 think airs

Very interesting!

bet that is built on bullshit calcs
