They’re even better if you only count white men
Those numbers can go down even further if you exclude everyone who isn’t a millionaire.
Nope. I think once you exclude women, the maternal death rates will hit their minimum.
Trans men?
As if they’d be counted appropriately.
True. They'd not give them any recognition.
Yeah, now we’re talking.
No, no they cannot.
Sure it can with Trump Math™! The same math the will lower drug prices 1000%, 600%, 500%, 1500% can make this possible!
NaN gang represent
Truly, the only demographic that matters, in cases like these. /s
Maybe pick an analogy other than the one that does imply the rest of us are also bad
The joke is just that there isn't a lot of maternal deaths among men
