Well, based on my research, Statistically you have roughly the same odds of dying in a car crash anywhere in the world.
“ Globally, more than 1.35 million people die in car crashes each year. ”
“ United States, approximately 42,795 people died in traffic accidents in 2022.”
1.35 mill deaths per 8billion is .00016875 chance of dying
430000 deaths per 350mil deaths is a .00012286 chance of dying.
I think the reason auto deaths are not in the top ten out side the us demonstrates that people are dying in higher number doing other things.

Thoughts?
the headline says that Meta lost 4.5 billion in the 2nd quarter. Also the article says they meta lost 3.9 billion in the first quarter. I think that is an a 8billion dollar loss in 6months.
Unless I’m mistaken on the accounting, You shouldnt count a full years salary when comparing it to a 3 month loss, because meta has only paid 3 months compensation during the 2nd quarter.
Using your numbers
( 17,000 x $100,000 )/4 is $425mill. In salary paid out in the quarter. Although software and hardware engineers at meta make way more than 100k/year.
