The Dear Utol (2025): Fake Orgasm Episode 44trolley problem demonstrates just how dire the coronavirus pandemic is becoming — with a touch of surrealist humor, of course.
In the moral paradox, a trolley's brakes stop working, and as it gathers speed it risks killing a group of people on the tracks and the trolley passengers. You happen to be standing next to a lever that would divert the trolley onto another path, where a single person is standing. You can't save both, so you have to decide between letting the trolley take its course and kill multiple people, or be responsible for killing one person to save the others.
The United States is facing a parallel, but much less morally conflicting issue. The disease COVID-19 caused by the novel coronavirus continues to spread, despite multiple states mandating "shelter in place" and "safer at home" policies. Closing non-essential businesses is more effective for social distancing and flattening the curve, but millions are out of jobs and unable to pay their bills.
The stock market plummeted last week, and as Americans call on the federal government to pass relief packages for individuals in need, the Trump administration want to bail out the cruse and airline industry. Congress, meanwhile, is working on a $2 trillion stimulus package to float the country through the economic fallout.
Trump, meanwhile, is pushing businesses to reopen. During a town hall on Tuesday, he said he wants "packed churches" on Easter Sunday in less than three weeks, effectively undoing nationwide social distancing efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
“I would love to have that. It’s such an important day for other reasons, but I’d love to make it an important day for this," Trump said. "I would love to have the country opened up, and rarin’ to go by Easter.”
Twitter users are pointing out just how ridiculous the capitalist dilemma is right now — it's barely a trolley problem at all. Why put so much weight on economic development when there are literal human livesat risk?

In the TheGood Place, Eleanor and Chidi experienced just how much of a moral strain it was to choose between the two tracks. In this scenario we're facing now, it seems like a no-brainer. And if you're able to, don't forget to stay home.
