    It’s worse than that. In the US cars are the #1 non-medical way people die. They’re fucking killing people and we’ve grown so accustomed to just shrugging our shoulders when yet another person is killed by a car that it’s weird just how little we notice what’s causing our suffering.

    I’m up to two dead family members from different car accidents. Another few have been in major accidents and others hit by cars. Once you start looking at just how many people are harmed, both directly and indirectly (family, friends) its scary that these predators are allowed to just roam our cities on the scale they do.

      40,000 car related deaths annually in the US. That’s basically a 9/11 every month.

      One was used to justify 20 years of warfare. The other is completely ignored.
