I think that there might be an argument that driving stress would correlate with the necessity of driving. That is, places where it is more stressful to drive have a higher frequency of available public transportation, like in a city, while places that are more relaxing to drive in tend to require having a vehicle for transportation, like rural areas.
Also, there is definitely an element of PTSD that can come with being in a car accident. It can make you jumpy when riding in cars with others or driving. I have heard that many race car drivers end up quitting the sport after a bad accident. No idea how true that is but if you start driving again the jumpiness will eventually turn into a higher level of alertness which can be a good thing when operating a motor vehicle.
The US and its president are definitely not leading the free world. Maybe still a leading world economy. But at this point, the country is actively destroying its own economy and is on its way out of even being considered part of the free world at all.
It is possibly all the more reason to keep it up. I don't want to be a target either, but these people need to know when they have entered hostile territory.
