Rule of 400

Posting this at top level since its burried in replies:

Fact time. You don't always die when shot, and the US is a baby factory. I can't find good stats on non-lethal gunshot, so I'll do the rest.

Verdict: Pretty accurate.

• 8.4% without health insurance (33 in 400)
• 11.5% poverty rate (46 in 400)
• 20% adults at or below literacy level 1 (80 in 400)
• 57% mental illness untreated (228 in 400) (requires math from NIH source)

my favourite is how tennessee effectively made insurance more expensive for everyone because one trans child wanted to play sports with her friends in school

Those trans people better not play sports! /s

Because all the other shit is those two people's fault somehow, obvs.

Holy shit the literacy rate is kinda shocking..

Do people not like to read? A quarter of the population is fucking NUTS

If at least 1 person in the room of 400 is shot per day they'd be dead in just over a year...

Last I checked the population of the US wasn't plummeting, so what else is wrong here?

Now the post says shot and not killed. I think that distinction is important. But I imagine those statistics are insane.

That’s the beauty of the 400 system. Once you become part of one facet, you can achieve so much more. Poor? Now you have the opportunity to be illiterate and definitely not have health insurance. Which is convenient as you will either participate in or be privy to a crime that increases your odds of getting shot. Let’s say you hit the jackpot on all these and you recover from your injuries, you still have the opportunity to participate in mental illness!

Jesus saves and I'm a soldier for Jesus, but only in the ways that don't cost me money or require me to make any lifestyle changes or acknowledge that I may not be perfect. Now, who's doing something that I can tangentially relate to the Bible that I'm not doing and don't plan to ever do?

2 are trans so you decide that ruining their lives is a priority

I get to marry them both?

This analogy is flawed.

It's the people who put the people in the room who set the priorities, not the ones inside the room.

Wait is this stat for real or a hyperbole? Assuming this represents the demogrpahcis of US. With a population of 333 million, there are 1.6 million trans people and 830 000 prople are shot everyday?

Land of the free baby.

Go out and vote. Can't complain about that which you permit. Also Vote with your money and vote with your time. Those are the real impactful ones.

2 seems high

Where is this happening? That's a very high shooting rate!

It's a breakdown of the United States general population, I think.

Who is doing the shooting? We need to fund these people!

There are 400 people. Yet the 2 trans people are all you talk about. Goes both ways

So lets take a look at the everyday, at least 1 person is shot

This would assert %0.25 of the population receives one or more gunshot injuries each day or 830,000 gunshot victims per year

A Penn Medicine study claims the number is 329/day

Which is 0.000098% of the population or 120,167 victims a year.

Brady United clocks US gunshot victims at 117,345 per year or 0.035 of the population (321 victims a day).

I suspect our poster Shon was computing that one of his 400 Americans in a room (I presume folks in the US) was getting shot every year and misspoke / forgot to carry the one. It's too easily detectable speaking to communities that will be eager to apply skepticism and dismiss the post in entirety.

I prefer to meet trans people in person to get to know them and judge them based on their actions like any other person rather than what I believe is on their minds.

I could also write this but like 2 trans people decided to ruin life of 10 others each round. And factual value would be about the same.
I'm sick of those victimize everything agendas to be honest.

So after 400 days everyone is dead?

Say you are in a room with 400 people. One of them is voenkom, 399 of them will die today.

But hey, at least Putin got new engine for his yacht from Italy! And his oligarchs are honorable buisness owners in EU and US.

Why would I be in the same room? Ew, I'm going back in my gated community and calling the cops

I don't want to be that guy but 8 billion divided by 400 is 20 million. So to get a global average you would multiply the number here by 20 million.... 20 million people are not shot every day

The reason trans people are such a hotly debated topic is because republicans (and some leftists) view it as an assault on truth. They firmly believe that woman means adult human female and that males cannot be females. It's not a surprise why there is so much controversy around it.

Wait, how are the illiterate who aren't in poverty doing it?

This is what you get when you dumb down people.

That sounds about right

where is this hell scape that you are referring to?

Help guys I'm being impersonated by @jordanlund

• "at least 1 out of 400 shot everyday"
• 365 shots per 400 people per year
• or 9.1 shots per 1 person per decade

The AVERAGE American has over 9 gunshot wounds? Man things are getting bad in the US.

Note: The other statistics seem to mostly check out (see another guy's comment about that), which is great. It's just weird the gun one is so astronomically inaccurate.
