If you could improve, or reduce, any one statistic by 5% what would you choose?

The odds of finally winning a card game against my daughter. She is a shark!

Seriously, I am working on increasing my VO2 Max.

Poverty

US deaths by gun shots.

@zenvelo I was going to say the same thing.

@Forever_Free I’m working on my VO2 max, too. I’ve been at it hard for the past 4 months.
I have improved significantly but it is a slow process as you know. I do a test every 3 weeks or so. I’m due for a test this weekend but I have a cold with chest congestion so that test will have to wait.

I would like to see our country’s Gini Coefficient reduced by 5%. The Gini Coefficient is a measure of the income disparity over the entire population. A 5% reduction would slightly alter the wide income disparity in the US and would mean improvements to education, income opportunities, agriculture, labor, infrastructure, investment, health care and other economic factors..

The annual tax on wealth over $1,000,000,000.

If it were personal, then the chance of me winning a Mega Millions lottery. I’d then by a couple hundred tickets.

If weren’t personal, I’d look for the most environmentally impactful statistic I could think of. The daily chance of accidental death of venal CEOs whose companies exploit the environment, for example.

My BMI.

5% is not nearly enough, but I would reduce Black maternal mortality (the rate of Black birthing people dying after childbirth).
