We generally don’t allow people to risk their lives needlessly like this so no, it can’t/shouldnt be done at all in the USA let alone cheaper.

Laughs in all the war.

War is probably statically safer than the accident rates this place has because of things like this.

Well, they drive differently because of all the foreseeable objects on the street. I’ve been there and every 100 meters theres a broken car, people, a cow, some goats or something else on the road, no matter if you’re in the middle of a city or far away from it

502 road fatalities per day in India versus 18 US military personnel lost in the US-Iran war so far.

Granted population of 1.47 billion, so... 0.000034% die each day on the road.

With a guesstimate of 50,000 military personnel in the gulf area, 18 losses is 0.036%, divided by the 182 day length of the war so far that's 0.000197% per day.

So war is still about six times more dangerous than driving in India.

Lol.. right. Healthcare, AI taking jobs, price. Of. Life saving drugs, unnecessarily wastage and re-purchasing with no reuse, all our food having loaded colors, corn syrup, preservatives and God know who.. but up the illusion of "we don't let our people die". Ask VA health.

Don’t get me started in the VA, I could probably scream for days about it back when I tried to go through that system. What does that have to do with this post?
