No, it's not always better spending resources! That sounds like maybe it's a good idea for us to break a few windows.


Better to replace windows already broken than to hoard spare windows in a convention center, then just throw them away.


Funny I wrote a longer response that I trimmed down to just my broken windows fallacy jab where I talked about how building, stocking, and manning field hospitals that remain underutilized is wasting resources, akin to hoarding spare windows.


Well then thanks for teeing-up my response :)

I definitely over-thought it at first, too.
