This all seems perfectly normal, perfectly legal. 

 

 

Before committing $2 billion to Mr. Kushner’s fledgling firm, officials at a fund led by the Saudi crown prince questioned taking such a big risk.

 

Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, a close ally during the Trump administration, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal.

 

A panel that screens investments for the main Saudi sovereign wealth fund cited concerns about the proposed deal with Mr. Kushner’s newly formed private equity firm, Affinity Partners, previously undisclosed documents show.

 

Those objections included: “the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management”; the possibility that the kingdom would be responsible for “the bulk of the investment and risk”; due diligence on the fledgling firm’s operations that found them “unsatisfactory in all aspects”; a proposed asset management fee that “seems excessive”; and “public relations risks” from Mr. Kushner’s prior role as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, former President Donald J. Trump, according to minutes of the panel’s meeting last June 30.

 

But days later the full board of the $620 billion Public Investment Fund — led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler and a beneficiary of Mr. Kushner’s support when he worked as a White House adviser — overruled the panel.

2 dead is worse than 1 dead.

 

This is life we are talking about.  

 

The loss of human life is horrible when it is murder.  More dead is worse.  You know it and I know it.

 

 

This argument was made in the Covid thread.  Does the verbiage sound familiar?  Exact opposite of the position people have taken against you here where you talk about overall lives lost and he/she talks per capita.   In the Covid thread, he/she talks overall deaths vs who he/she is arguing against who talks about inferred fatality rate (a ratio to show less deadly disease). 
 

 

If I may trouble you one last time, good sir, for a bit of clarification:  are we to move forward with your increasingly tortured insistence that more deaths equal less deaths if you adjust the words,
