    and they’re still really unlikely

    1 in 1000 is not really unlikely if it is in regards to your life ending.

    However even taking your number it would lead to devastating pictures.

    2 married people with 4 grandparents 1 aunt 3 friends and 3 kids means every year 22±5 out of a small 1000 family neighbourhood will be affected by car deaths.

    Assuming that a relevant time period is from the birth of a child till it is 30 and therefore might have had a child of their own, so 30 years we get that around 66%±10% of families will be affected. Instead of only 1-3 families during that time.

    You did not lift the veil of ignorance, you created a new veil of diffusion.

    It would mean that two out of three families would lose a close person within a 30 year generation due to cars, instead of only a small percentage. This is the power of the 17 times!

    The alternative of train rides would mean that within a generation virtually no family is affected by car deaths.

    There is quite a bit wrong with your comment. The odds don’t change whether you give them in km or billion kms. However “the odds of dying on each of these” is wrong: Those are not the odds.

    As you wrote what you wrote it would mean that only 2 people in the whole US population of 300 million would die on a car.

    (annualized) death rate was 1.66 per 10,000 vehicles

    The 17times more likely is telling the truth. Of course you could do look at miles consumed per mode of transport, but the point will remain that trains are much more safer (and some people die on them rather by old age, than accidents).

    In addition the way you present the numbers with leading zeroes means you have no academic experience in the field of data presentation. Which shows.

    At the current place in time 15 people thought it was a good idea to downvote that post. That is also showing quite an obvious anti-left potential anti-liberal and US centric bias, which others for example BIPoCs would not share. Or whistleblowers.

    The admins have access to that information btw. who upvotes and downvotes what. This means that closer connection to the FBI also makes it more easy for them to access the 100k+ users preferences, political leanings etc. as well as private messages. Other agencies wouldn’t even need to be involved with warrants to get that data, since the servers are harboring enough international communication that you ought to act as if intelligence agencies might have access to what you write, post and how you vote.
