More deadly than coronavirus

Post by kalm »

Inadequate health insurance. It kills 68,000 per year vs switching to Medicare for all. Plus, it’s expensive.

You almost transformed into a self aware wolf with that post. Almost.

1.25 million die worldwide each year in auto accidents
Approximately 35 million each year are injured or disabled in auto accidents

I've been advocating for banning cars for years, but nobody will listen to me. They're far more dangerous than guns.

Meh... Logical fallacy
There are many hundreds of millions of hours of combined automotive use per clock hour...
if we divide total deaths an hour per "use hour" it's not even close

Guns are many multiple hundreds times more dangerous than cars
neither are particularly dangerous per use factor but there is no mathematical use formula that would support your argument

Thank you, Mr. St Onge.

Flying in a helicopter was probably safer than taking a car for Kobe Bryant as well. Traffic in LA is a bitch!

That's like arguing that the coronavirus is more deadly than the flu on a per person infected basis. :coffee:
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88
