    I appreciate the effort to improve the methodology. But the numbers feel too big to be grasped easily, compared to the original.

    Maybe the time frame can be changed? If we bump it to “1 person will be shot to death this year” it would make it a room full of 7080 people and 58 are trans

    Edit: full data set rescaled

    7080 - total

    566 - no insurance

    750 - poverty

    1487 - illiterate

    1635 - mentally ill

    1 - gun death per year

    58 - trans

      Thanks, I was stuck 330M americans… so almost a million get shot ever day (per the original)… that can’t be right

      Fine but nobody would care. Alt right enjoyers are way too deeo into “religious” amok to even get touch with reality again, not to mention trying to talk to them with statistics. they just don’t care.
