Is America Really That Bad? - eviltoast

Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

    Do you not realize how much lower those numbers are than what you originally posted?

    You are undermining your own claim.

    They also include deaths that never happened at schools.

    Also from your own link:

    The percentage of youth homicides occurring at school remained at less than 3 percent of the total number of youth homicides

    From your own data, in 2018, there were 10 homicides of youths in schools.

    https://www.census.gov/topics/education/school-enrollment.html

    On average in America, there are 73.8 million students in school.

    That’s a percentage of .0000001%

    Very close to your chances of dying from a lightning strike (.0000006%)
