California leads in mass shootings when you don't account for population. Which is one of the stupidest ways to compare different areas. If I told you China had 8 mass shooting in 2018 and Belgium had 7 would you really just say "welp that's interesting, China had the most mass shootings, they need to get their shit together" and move on with your day?
From your article: "With another mass shooting in California, number 19 since 1984, the state leads the nation in most deaths from these kinds of violent killings—but only because it is by far the most populous state."
It's no. 20 in economic opportunity, the reason opportunity in general is so low is because of affordability. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/california

So were gona have to put buts and exceptions then? ok. then illegal immigrants are the most violent and do the most crimes if you account for per capita do you agree with that?
Again, with the affordability, with california leading the way in social programs, how is affordability the worst than any other state?

how are you going to account for the expected increase in anything when more people are somewhere other than using a per capita value? If I ask you about the expected rate of a chemical reaction and you try to use raw amount of material instead of concentration you'll just be wrong, it's not a matter of "buts and exceptions" it's just how data is analyzed correctly or not.
