Holy shit America is crazy. How do you get to the point where more kids are dying of guns than cars in a country with too many cars. And why has poisoning gone up so much?

It's poisoning and drug overdose. I can only assume fentanyl is the reason for a huge spike in that area.

And Tide pods, of course 😛

No, it’s all the porn. Edging is poisoning our youth.

When you actually do the calculations... Even just taking a rough "6 kids per 100,000" killed with firearms, doesn't sound too bad no?

That's about 20,000 KIDS killed per year

TWENTY FUCKIN THOUSAND
