You are supposed to look at how thick the CD color is, not how high the top of it is. It goes from being really thick to tapering off to maybe a tenth of its size. CD sales are way down. |

It's a graph of total revenue of the music industry. The colors are how much of that revenue came from each source.

You're right, we have to remember Flint is colorblind.
Anyway, This is the US contribution to the WHO budget. I'd say Europe is a little light. But four guys from London can't need that much.

Stocks are only reporting what happened four and more years ago. And, of course, the short term emotions.
One trend is obvious. Damage has been done. That short term rally does only undoes some damage. And ends an Obama economy growth: |

tw, that chart is kinda crap
why are the y axis labels truncated? why are there no units of measure / legend? why does the y axis appear to be non linear? what the hell are you talking about only four or more years earlier?

That’s a cool map. It still annoys me that Germany banned street view.

The classic example. Stock market crashed in 1929. When were jobs lost? 1933. Tax cuts tend to create recessions more than 4 years later. As repeated in history including the famous Kennedy tax cut. Trump's booming economy was simply the legacy of Obama. The Donald, of course, takes credit for everything - his ego gets in the way of honesty. Carter administration encouraged the Fed to raise interest rates approaching 20%. When did those massive interest rate hikes finally fix stagflation? Around Reagan's fifth year. Economic data rarely reports anything about this year. Exceptions tend to be something so catastrophic as to even immediately affect spread sheets. Such as a nationwide shutdown. Irrelevant is what axises are. You are expected to know such facts. It is widely and publicly available. Trends are obvious and relevant. Well understood by anyone. Demonstrated even when George Jr was creating major economic damage with his Mission Accomplished war. |
