It most recently came to a point in the aftermath of the buffalo plane crash (undoubtedly a tragic event).

However while in the office some was talking about it, and was mentioning how horrible it is. However when I said “You realize that many people die on the roads of North America every day right”

I was some how branded as heartless…. and that little piece of knowledge was conveniently dismissed.

As you said, people have simply come to accept deaths on our roadways as acceptable.
