      they always meant per-capita. 0.00001% of the population or whatever

      if you have 100 people in some group and one of them dies that’s like 100 9/11s to that group.

      or something. i’m tired and high so maybe don’t take those numbers literally.

            I’ve declared that cancer, dementia, heart disease, and stroke are the new axis of evil!

            She actually died in a car crash but since our family owns a series of car dealerships I didn’t want to get into all that.

          By the way, checked the math, and even if that was your last grandparent, 100% of the population would be 94,882 9/11s.

          Liberals would still use that 450,000 number anyways though

        The actual numbers are worse than you thought:

        2,996 deaths out of approx. 284,267,319 Americans = 0.00105%

        1 death out of 100 people = 1%

        This comes out to 948.8 9/11s
