“We face a crisis here in America,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told Yahoo News last month, pointing out that the number of people who died on the roads each year (42,795 in 2022) is comparable to the number killed by guns (48,830 in 2021).
I don’t know what’s more messed up:
Over 40,000 people dead because of automobiles; nearly 50,000 people dead because of guns; or the fact that no government seems to care enough about either to make the much-needed changes to stop either from happening.
