Numbers work any way you want them to work. For example your last statement is a matter of opinion because it's based on selecting a specific criterion that would make guns appear to be deadlier than cheeseburgers (I prefer bigmacs). Ultimately what are you concerned with: the TOTAL number of Americans dying from guns vs. cheeseburgers or the number of Americans killed per 1 gun/cheeseburger?Unfortunately, that is not the way numbers or statistics work.

If you compare 280,148 obesity deaths from 50,000,000,000 cheeseburgers against 8,538 guns deaths from 270,000,000 guns, you'll see that guns are actually far more deadly than cheeseburgers...
Never understood regular people's obsession with 'economic growth' under a capitalist system. I'm still paying crazy taxes with near zero return regardless of who's in power. Bezos, Musk, Buffett, etc. making more billions under dems or reps means nothing to me -- economic growth is an empty catch phrase for the regular working people.
Again, I am simply sharing information. So someone said the guy in Africa was a guy in Florida, the principle of the argument still stands.
And there are people litigating for 3 year olds to get sex change operations. It may not be in the current bill, that may have been revised, maybe they added legislation on to that one, and then removed it. Anything is possible. Doesn't change the fact that insane parents are mutilating their kids. I am just raising awareness to these issues.
Because most tend to invest in the economy, while returns are not immediate (and with capital gains taxes it's best generally they are not) are used as stakes to judge current estimated wealth and growth. Coke millionaires during the crash and stories like that.Never understood regular people's obsession with 'economic growth' under a capitalist system.

"Invest" -- afaik only 40% put $ in their 401k. And we have yet to see if those 401ks will be around by the time people retire in 20-30 years.Because most tend to invest in the economy, while returns are not immediate (and with capital gains taxes it's best generally they are not) are used as stakes to judge current estimated wealth and growth.

Which is really all the system is anyhow, estimated wealth.
So is your boyfriend, bitch.No, you are knowingly sharing information you know is false. You're a scum bag.
Well yes. It's a game that only really benefits those with more."Invest" -- afaik only 40% put $ in their 401k. And we have yet to see if those 401ks will be around by the time people retire in 20-30 years.
All that this economy is is speculation with non-existent money and profits derived from surplus value.
