Can't see the tweet. But I swear you said pediatricians and I was very confused about them being killed regularly. -- nm - sycor Jun 22, 11:16
That's odd. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 11:15 7
- is it? Detroit basically only sells monster trucks now -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:16 6
  - oh ... it correlates with vehicle size over the years. When Carter was in office people were getting small economy cars. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 11:18 5
    - i think there are probably a lot of factors. vehicle size for one. cops not enforcing traffic laws in cities with a lot of pedestrians likely another -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:22 4
      - and I don't remember stories like this when I was growing up - JD Jun 22, 11:43
      - texting while walking/driving is the biggest issue I'd wager -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Jun 22, 11:39 1
        
        at least in LA, it mostly seems to be drivers running red lights -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:44
      - Yes, cops use traffic stops to look for drugs and guns (and primarily using bigoted profiling) instead of enforcing safe driving laws -- nm - mara Jun 22, 11:25
