E59: White Plight - DUI is Still a Problem

from The Junto Podcast Hosted by edgarmills

Host Edgar Mills examines data showing drunk driving is disproportionately reported among white men and compares roughly 12,000 annual DUI deaths to about 15,000 firearm homicides, arguing DUI is an under-discussed public health crisis. He explores cultural and geographic drivers (social drinking, rural/suburban transport gaps, and soft privilege), calls for consistent application of justice, and urges personal responsibility and contingency planning to prevent needless deaths.
