Also remember, things are newsworthy because they’re novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.

      2 per day? Crazy…

      In 2023, the average number of people who died from gun violence in the United States each day was 118. This is based on the 43,163 people who died from gun-related injuries in 2023.

      2 per day, what are they smoking.
