  • Not to detract from the overall message, buuuut…

    48,313 gun deaths in US in 2021.

    333,000,000 people in US

    On those rates 0.05 people in a room of 400 would be shot per year, so 1 person per 20 years.

    It’d 1 person every 2 years in a room of 4,000.

    Also those mental health numbers are off given the lifetime prevalence of most disorders being around 5%.

    2/400 (0.5%) of the population identifying as trans would be 1,665,000 people - which may be plausible but idk, I generally work on the figure of ~4% of any population being LBGTQI.

    Poverty numbers are probably bang on.
