Cruelty is the point, not helping anyone.

When we consider that someone desperately needs a distraction while they continue to pick the rest of our pockets, it starts to make sense.

OK, but by this math, if I stop reading I might get health insurance?

I get the point but the gun stats are off by at least two orders of magnitude
Yeah 1 in 400 per day would be wild. Maybe in a war zone and even then…
I'm still trying to figure out how so many people afford health insurance. Anytime I tried to acquire it outside of work it was expensive, even through the ACA. When going through a company it is usually still shit. Expensive and covers hardly anything. What's the point in paying $3,000 a year and having a $5,000 deductible and not having enough days off to even schedule appointments? If I had an accident that cost me over $8,000 I likely was in a car accident, which is covered by car insurance then. Maybe in my 40s it'll seem like it was worth it.
1 in 400 is 0.25% a day.
According this report roughly 325 people a day are shot a day in the US (if we’re including those who don’t die).
325 in 340,000,000 is 0.0000955882%, four orders of magnitude less.
In a room of 400 people that’s one gun violence victim every 7 years. Or, conversely, 0.25% would be 850,000 per day in 340,000,000 people.
All that said, 325 victims a day is still completely absurd and doesn’t need to be so wildly exaggerated.
