I always think about this when people say vending machines are more likely to kill you than sharks.

Are they looking at vending machines only in beach cities or in the middle of like, Arizona too?

I also feel that vending machines don't really suddenly strike you without warning and through no fault of your own

Tell me you live in a safe neighborhood without saying you live in a safe neighborhood....

Your "feeling" are invalidating hundreds of peoples lived experience of the terror of vending machine gang violence
