I mean as someone who lost two uncles to suicide by firearm, I think we can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time when it comes to addressing healthcare and gun violence. My biggest issue is statement's like chris' marginalize a ton of issues. If you dont want to care about things insignificant compared to health care you are throwing a lot of causes under the bus. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday."

I would be utterly shocked if it was way less. I would be willing to not do the math and just accept this(I would still wager it falls under, to get a true number we need to actually find some countries with better health care to compare death rates. But to get an even truer number we need to eliminate the effect of non-health care caused US poverty as well). As long as we're also willing to settle for chris' idea that preventable health care deaths dwarf gun deaths x10 is even further from the mark. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday."

Further complicating the issue, a vast majority of the gun deaths in that figure I gave were suicides These count on both sides of the issue, imo.

Obviously it's not perfect, but when you account for the fact that those numbers are still missing a large chunk of deaths since I only looked at the top ten causes, and red's statement was "preventable medical deaths are no where close to gun deaths x10," the number necessary becomes so low that there's almost no way he's correct, even accounting for all of that. eyeballing I would wager you could get to about 250k-300k arguably. But your not getting to 400k. Especially when you get into how much cancer sucks and that heart disease is a product of poverty moreso than health care. You've also got programs that are basically medicare replacements for the low income like MediCal and stuff. So you have to really start digigng into the percent of population not seeking health care. Which is going to be a percentage of those in various income levels up to age 65. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday."

So just adding up only those death numbers, which isn't all the medical related deaths, you'd only need barely 20% of those to apply to the terms of the discussion.

Most deaths are still in the older population, where they already have the health care plan chris wants. Beyond that, most people do seek medical care.

I understand most everything else bad with NFTs but I don't understand the "bad for the environment" thingDumb way I have been describing the harm of crypto: Because when say, you use your computer to calculate 1+1, it just straight up calculates 1+1.

In doing this, it requires bitcoin to become more and more complex, even for simple computations. Every time 1+1 is done in bitcoin, it is more complex than the last time it was calculated, requiring more processing power. Everyday computing doesn't have this problem, power consumption doesn't have a need to grow more and more complex. Every time you put 1+1 in your PC, it requires the same amount of processing power.
