Are there stats for kids killed by these monstrous pick ups? Dodge Ram, hummers etc

I don't know about lifted pickups in general, but the NHTSA recorded that there were 39,345 traffic fatalities in the US in 2024. So OP's chart is missing a few lines.

  • Traffic Deaths: 39,345 (in 2024)
  • Killed By Police: 1,365 (recorded in 2024)
  • Medical Malpractice Deaths: 250,000 (estimated annual)
  • Preventable Deaths due to Illness: 44,000 (lowerbound annual estimate)
  • Malnutrition Deaths: 6,762 (in 2022)

So, yeah. Our politicians, capitalist overlords, and a fucked up for-profit medical system are killing us all either by inches or just outright, at the rate of a combined hundreds of thousands per year. But ermahgerd, gunz!!!
