This is your brain on capitalism.

This is absolutely horrifying.

Rick Santelli on @CNBC says we should consider giving coronavirus to everybody to just get it over with.That way it won’t wreak so much havoc on the economy.

"Maybe we'd be better off if we gave [COVID-19] to everybody, and in a month it would be over because the mortality is going to be any different than the long-term picture but the difference is we're wreaking havoc on global economies," he continued.

This is what people say who are obsessed with money at the expense of humanity. It is as stark and real as it can be, right there in black and white from the guy who tried to burn everything down in 2009 with his little staged Tea Party rant.

When all you care about is the almighty dollar, why think about the children and parents and husbands and wives who will be lost to this virus? I mean, he's basically saying that millions should die needlessly because...markets.

3. Wasn't his last idea

the Tea Party? I guess I don't expect many deep thoughts from Santelli.

5. Yes, Santelli is "credited" with inspiring the Tea Party, through another rant of his.

In that one, he was railing against having to pay out of his pocket for other people's problems during the Bush recession.

4. Crimes against humanity.

This person is advocating for mass murder. I don't see how it can be interpreted any other way.

The thing is, the fact he has the balls to say it publicly, indicates to me he knows there's political support behind the idea.

6. Reminded me

Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? It’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?’

The comment came about during a Good Morning America interview with the couple who were formerly President and First Lady, George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush. The interview was conducted by Diane Sawyer in Houston scant hours before the couple’s son, President George W. Bush, delivered a televised ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to step down from power and leave Iraq or face U.S.-led military action. The chat with the senior Bushes aired the following morning, 18 March 2003.

War? Pandemic? Famine?

Please don’t bother them with those pesky insignificant things.
