FAKE. Correlation =/= causation.

Researchers looked at the 10 deadliest U.S. mass shootings between 2008 and 2023 and traffic fatalities the following day.

When your sample size is 10, you can fuck right off.

"Science" under capitalism is so shitty that even the most prestigious "scientists" are pseudo-scientific grifters pushing clickbait.

What's even better is some politicians find ways for these to fit whatever sick fucking agenda they are cooking up to ruin our lives even more.
