Welp that sucked.

69 deaths in 2024 (323 school shootings in 1 year. More school shootings than school days. What are you doing there?)*

And

400+ billionaires the poorest is 3.3B

So 2024 had 1 Billionare death, at this rate, we need 399 more years...

More numbers for people to play with. "Since 1999, 440 people have been killed and 1,243 injured in shooting events at K-12 schools."

If I'm reading the hypothetical right, it's saying what if in a year, the numbers were reversed... 323 $hootings with 69 deaths, versus 1 school shooting with 1 death.

Would gun laws change, would tax laws change? Etc etc. Would minimum wage change?

Purely hypothetical of course
