She loves quoting NPR and VOX.

more than 300,000 people are killed by gun violence around the world. In
2017, nearly 40,000 people died in the United States as a result of gun
violence; the highest number of gun deaths in nearly 50 years. The rate
of deaths—12 fatal shootings per 100,000 residents—is also at the
highest point since the mid-1990s. Approximately 20 veterans a day
commit suicide nationwide. Every day, 47 children and teens are shot,
and each gun injury and fatality results in trauma to family members and
loved ones. More people have died fro
m guns in the United States since
1968 than on battlefields of all the wars in United States history.

A World Health Organization report estimates that interpersonal
violence within the United States costs approximately $300 billion
annually, not including war-related costs. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention found that the total economic cost of child abuse
and neglect is estimated at $124 billion each year.

According to a report by the Institute of Economics and Peace, which
measures the economic impact of violence and conflict to the global
economy, the economic impact of violence to the global economy was
$14.76 trillion in 2017. The report also found that the regional impact
of violence in North America, 99 percent of which can be attributed to
the United States, amounted to $2.73 trillion in 2017.
This at the tail end of item 10. Kind of amazing that they started this the year of 911, and kind of amazing they point out the Children of the world, whilst UN forces that are supposed to be doing "Child Protective Services" are really doing much child trafficking.
See cute soundbites. But even when you just read the full title to each section, the "narrative" is quickly displayed.
Those deserve their own article. I'll make a draft at least.

The United Nations declared the years 2001 through 2010 an International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World, and the United Nations supports a culture of peace. In 2015, the UN adopted 17 sustainable development goals, including promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies.This got me to research the 17 Goals. They sure are cute little marketing pieces, but are entirely and grossly impractical and goals that cannot be met by any year much less 2030. By 2030 we will likely be in the depths of a cooling downfall resulting in huge economic and food losses. This is the worst possible time to spend money foolishly.
