Trump Adviser Suggests Putting Workers In Spacesuits

[RandySF]

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

Said Moore: “We can use really good public safety measures, social distancing the work force, disinfectants everywhere, masks. 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? No. Seriously.”

He added: “You have to make 200 million of these, but it wouldn’t have cost $3 trillion to do that. And you can have for months people just walking around in these kind of — I mean, I was looking online, and there are all these kinds of suits that they’re building now that you’re not exposed and you’re breath — kind of ventilator.”

[Proud Liberal Dem]

The cost of a spacesuit originally was about $22 million. Building one from scratch right now can be as much as 250 million.

7. Uh huh

That would have been really funny back before people started dying.
Damn it. They've taken away funny.
Bastards.

8. "Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool

or open it and remove all doubt."

Or words to that effect.

9. Does he mean a hazmat suit?

He should start by wearing one for 4-8 hours a day. On his feet all day. Working at something service oriented.

[Journeyman]

11. Hamster balls would be better. We could easily maintain social distancing with those . . .

and they'd be a lot more fun . . .

[gratuitous]

12. Translation

"Yar, I don't know what I'm doing"

[brewens]

14. They could be just like the basic hazmat suits you see, but this clown has no clue how hard it

would be to do most jobs wearing one. He may never have had a job where you didn't go to work in a suit. Anyway, just the hazmat suits would be a fortune and take way too long to get to everybody.

15. Heck of a job Stevie.. Ever work outside in the sun or heat?

This idiot advises trump? no wonder

[UTUSN]

16. Now *that* would also fix the toilet p. thing: Don't those suits hook up to "go"?!1

[Politicub]

17. We would all look like Randy in his snowsuit in a Cristmas Story
