As compared to the Colossus of Rhode Island?
One of the classics people will pull out when they're trying to gaslight you into ignoring COVID is, "More people die every year in car accidents! Are you going to stop driving?" Putting aside that (according to the excess death data I've seen for the US) that isn't even true, I'm like, "Yeah, and it's fucking wild that tens of thousands of people are dying every single year and instead of implementing tried-and-true methods to reduce fatalities we're actively making things worse! That's not normal, that's just been normalized!"
Are you going to stop driving?
Every person who enters a car in the US is literally braver than all the troops and cops combined.
And every person who gets around without a car in the US is even braver than that
Fitting, since this is right in the timeframe where US vehicle deaths per distance traveled reached their highest-ever peak.
I keep getting ads for facebook groups that have a picture of a bunch of old cars with a caption like "All metal bodies, not a seatbelt in sight, and we did fine" and they definitely did not do fine
Damn, Sickos used to be metal as fuck.
