A different take on Dan Patrick's statement "There more important things than living"

Texas Lieutenant Governor continued to display his lack of empathy on Tucker Carlson's show by reinforcing his past comments about "reopening the economy" without real concern for deaths it will cause. He now says there are more important things than living, meaning the death of some to keep a vibrant economy is justified. Progressives who support rights for everyone should frame Dan Patrick's reasoning because we can transform it in so many ways to show the hypocrisy.
