Welp that sucked.

69 deaths in 2024 (323 school shootings in 1 year. More school shootings than school days. What are you doing there?)*

And

400+ billionaires the poorest is 3.3B

So 2024 had 1 Billionare death, at this rate, we need 399 more years…

*I forgot to add. Both this source and me are not american. Feel free to correct me with a more local source

More numbers for people to play with. “Since 1999, 440 people have been killed and 1,243 injured in shooting events at K-12 schools.”

If I’m reading the hypothetical right, it’s saying what if in a year, the numbers were reversed… 323 $hootings with 69 deaths, versus 1 school shooting with 1 death.

Would gun laws change, would tax laws change? Etc etc. Would minimum wage change?

Purely hypothetical of course
