TW: Self Harm, Suicide, Gun Violence
I do feel couching your findings about Gun Deaths as “This is how many productive hours this person could have worked between when they died and when they could have retired” and “This is how many years these people could have lived based on their age and avg lifespan for their Demographics” is like extremely inflammatory even if you want the data to be “quantitative”

For a physician that insists we need a radical change in our political system that centers BIPOC people as being deserving of equity in healthcare & education, We sure ran back to the “Democrats did racism to” and “I’m not saying everyone needs to be a democrat”…truly keep this fence sitting shit to yourself. Conservatives will think you’re a lib for thinking marginalized ppl deserve civil rights

Racial Resentment and Dying of Whiteness are both great terms for the general vibe of this administration which isn’t surprising given this was published immediately after the first Trump admin.
IDK if I find the most potent data to be around public school, healthcare and gun control but the author is a physician so I can understand wanting quantitative data to undergrid his overall thesis
