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.

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

So, in a little over a year everyone in the USA will be shot? 875K people are shot daily?

[-] Trollception@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yea I could believe the other stats but there's no way one person out of 400 is being shot every day.

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 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?

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Single GSWs aren't THAT deadly. Quick Google shows about 20%. So after 2000 days everyone is dead, assuming we're not replacing them ever.

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.

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.
