To be clear, your argument in its entirety is a $15 carbon monoxide detector is not worth it to save a life (or in this case, at least 11 lives and 1400 injuries for just this one storm).
I bet with that volume a mere $50M would buy a carbon monoxide detector for every house in Texas or 0.02% of the total state budget.

#4I wasn't able to get past the second sentence:
> In a state that doesn’t require carbon monoxide alarms in homes, they had no warning they were poisoning themselves.
As of 2012, Alaska is the only state to require carbon monoxide detectors in all dwellings. That doesn't mean it's not a problem for all of the other states, but framing the sentence in that way makes it seem like a smear, or with some silly bias, since Texas is in no way unordinary, in this regard.

Yes, I don’t think we should spend $50m to save 11 lives because I’m sure we can save more lives allocating that money elsewhere

With $50m we can save many more people than 11. Regulatory hacking vibes coming from this article

> in each existing dwelling unit having a fossil fuel burning heater or appliance, fireplace, or an attached garage
Not all dwellings, like Alaska, just those with the above requirements, with apartments probably rarely meeting them. Many places in Texas use heat pumps for heating. And, there is no requirement for a CO detector in the garage, which is the first example that they gave in the article.
