Say you're in a room with 400 ppl. 36 don't have health insurance. 48 live in poverty. 85 are illiterate. 90 have untreated mental illnesses. And everyday, at least 1 person is shot. But 2 are trans so you decide ruining their lives is a priority. That is what's happening rn

I appreciate the effort to improve the methodology. But the numbers feel too big to be grasped easily, compared to the original.

Maybe the time frame can be changed? If we bump it to "1 person will be shot to death this year" it would make it a room full of 7080 people and 58 are trans

Edit: full data set rescaled

7080 - total

566 - no insurance

750 - poverty

1487 - illiterate

1635 - mentally ill

1 - gun death per year

58 - trans

    I agree, that is absolutely a better representation of the data

    Fine but nobody would care. Alt right enjoyers are way too deeo into "religious" amok to even get touch with reality again, not to mention trying to talk to them with statistics. they just don't care.
