Because people have great skill in exploiting other people as well.

You're turning it into a moral issue instead of a measurable one...

Loggers, oil and gas workers, roofers, police, and more, all have SIGNIFICANTLY higher chances of dying then the average person.

They do their job everyday.

The idea of 'significant' is subjective. Statistically, anything that is not random is significant.

You need points of comparison.

Significant in comparison to what?

Do the night shift workers have higher chances than these groups and therefore should people be overly concerned?

Is it about equal?

I'm asking for accuracy instead of outrage from the news media so people can decide for themselves because statistics is easily massagable for the less knowledgable to create maximum outrage.

That's all.

Yeah but this article refers to a very specific subset of that larger group.

My point is that if it's a low number, a 300% increase is still a low number.

Using percentages without context is a red flag for me for something possibly being wrong with the article.

It bothers me when they give percentages without accompanying context.

300% of 1 = 3

How many night workers and how many car crashes?

Looking at this logically, 8chan is available all over the world. Yet only America has these shooting happening regularly. Could it not be 8chan but America that has the issues?

I have a feeling 8chan and Video Games and guns are not the issue here but structural social problems with America.
