that map is also the equal distribution of "medical" marijuana.

Climate Milestone: Earth’s CO2 Level Passes 400 ppm
Greenhouse gas highest since the Pliocene,
when sea levels were higher and the Earth was warmer.

Quote:
An instrument near the summit of Mauna Loa in Hawaii has
recorded a long-awaited climate milestone: the amount of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere there has exceeded 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time
in 55 years of measurement—and probably more than 3 million years of Earth history.

The explanation: the labor force participation rate fell to 63.3 percent, its lowest level since 1979.
The chart shows the decline.

Labor force participation is how many folks are in the game vs how many are in the stands. Unemployment is how many are sitting on the bench either because they suck or they are injured.
