Trump adviser suggests reopening economy by putting 'everybody in a space outfit'
The Week ^ | 4/22/2020 | Brendan Morrow

One of President Trump's economic advisers has an admittedly "crazy" idea for how to reopen the country amid the coronavirus pandemic: space outfits.

Stephen Moore, a member of Trump's economic task force, spoke to The New York Times this week about restarting the U.S. economy, saying he's been advising the president about how "we have to really get things opened" as soon as May 1st. But how are states to send people back to work in a safe way that doesn't endanger public health? Moore offered a bit of an ... out of the box ... suggestion.

"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?" Moore asked. "No. Seriously."

okay.....

We can’t make enough masks fast enough.

We can’t make enough test kits for everyone.

But we’re supposed to make spacesuits for everyone who is employed?

This guy has revealed himself to be too vapid to be advising anyone.

Take a piece of paper and draw a rectangle box. That’s inside the box where most people think. Draw another rectangle around the original with about an inch between the lines. That’s the “outside the box”. Smart people think here. The almost infinite area outside the second box is “stupid”. Never go full stupid.
