Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

4. Nobody remembers hardship anymore.

Massachusetts last year made phone calls from prison and jails free.
It also wiped charges for other forms of communication between incarcerated folks & their loved ones.
You can see how hugely important it is for people in this piece. 1/2
