Haa the number of sessions decreased or you just have a schedule now?

I think you mean it widens as age advances.

It's pretty similar generation to generation.

This chart uses 100+ years of US Census data to show homeownership rates for each generation at different stages of life.
A lot has been said about millennials struggling to afford homeownership. But by age 40, white millennials have reached a homeownership rate of 70%, higher than Gen X and only a few percentage points shy of earlier generations. However for Black millennials, only 39% own homes by age 40. For three consecutive generations, the Black homeownership rate has slipped and the racial homeownership gap has widened.
Some additional commentary for each generation:
GREATEST (born 1901-1927)
The fastest growth in US homeownership took place between 1940-80, when the Greatest generation was in their 30s-70s. This was driven by a post-WWII construction boom and mass migration to the suburbs. The era was characterized by legal racial discrimination, worsening segregation, and “white flight.” White families bought homes in the suburbs, while Black families bought homes in the emptied city centers.
SILENT (born 1928-1945)
The suburban housing boom also boosted homeownership for the Silent, who were in their teens-50s at the time. For both white and Black households, Silent homeownership would eclipse Greatest homeownership.
BABY BOOMER (born 1946-1964)
The oldest generation hit by the Great Recession. Boomers were 44-62 in 2008 and you can see their homeownership rates dip during those ages. But the effect was worse for Black homeowners, who were 76% more likely than white homeowners to experience foreclose during the market crash.
GENERATION X (born 1965-1980)
The unequal effects of the recession hit younger generations too: Gen X was in their 30s and 40s. White Gen Xers reached 50% homeownership by age 29, whereas it would take Black Gen Xers until age 54.
MILLENNIAL (both 1981-1996)
Millennials came of age during the housing bubble and homeownership has grown slower than previous generations. Black millennial homeownership is growing at a similar pace to white households born nearly 100 years earlier.

Damn and here I thought the whole "Everything I disagree with is Russian propaganda" trend has disappated a bit post-Trump. Good to see it's still going strong out there...

I am just arguing about the misleading datavisualization. I have no idea what the Russian trade situation is really like.

The article also has a line graph of Russian imports that shows they have recovered to more or less pre-invasion levels. That would seem to be pretty convincing evidence that Russian is not isolated from trade, regardless of how country circle sizes are scaled in the other figures.

Countries pass legislation and regulation for industries and people that can influence how much they pollute, and Mother Nature doesn’t give a shit about per capita pollution either. 2 people dumping 20 barrels of oil into the ocean is still doing less damage than 50 people dumping 1 barrel each.

Love this topo, but it’s waaay to busy. Highways aren’t necessary and distracts from the point of showing off the topo.

That's cool!

Is the raw data available?

you gotta post on Monday

what about total length per day?

It is a substantial argument. Military spending for civil research progress is super inefficient.

audits literally cost money but I wasn't trying to say that their cost increase would surpass the savings

yeah I believed you already and 2x/3x for a common thing is crazy

Wouldn't say ridiculous since we could have it. It's just a hypothetical scenario to explain something. Obviously we would gain all military expenses if military wasn't necessary because wars are possible. If military was only about defense of own country, USA could drop all except nuking capabilities.

My wife has breastfed 3 kids for a year each. It is truly amazing what you have done for your child and as a stranger I appreciate your commitment and sacrifice.

It's pretty much the same as the US + just less dense population thus a little bit more more driving around between places. If you compare it to like Texas or Montana specifically it'd probably be the same or lower.

Data gathered by me over the first year of my son's life. I didn't manage to track every session, but I captured the vast majority.

Visualization was made with R / ggplot

It's 5% of their revenue, consistent with all the other parentheticals immediately next to it and consistent with revenue being defined at the top as 100%, not a 5% tax rate.

They even went out of their way to give you an asterisk to clarify for you in case you didn't notice...

Oh ok, thank you for the very pointed and substantial argument against how many things you enjoy were borne of military spending.

Also the audits don’t cost money, it’s the rules we follow so that contractors (usually those evil big businesses I know you hate) get to charge 20-30% more because of those dumb rules.

I do construction management, and have many friends in the industry that do both govt and commercial. A good example is a 7.5 ton package HVAC unit. Outside world would pay 12-16k to hook it up to a building, while I was quoted 24k and 34k by different firms. Imagine that happening tens of thousands of times across the govt, not just the military and that’s the best place to start with reducing our govt budget.

In your perfect world with one govt how would that happen? You’d need a military to conquer all the people you’d like to have a benevolent world govt for and none will go without fighting for their sovereignty. So that idea is ridiculous and unrealistic.

Usually RSUs, stock options, things like that

If audits really solve the issues procurements try to solve without additional costs, then sure, sucks how ineffcient everything is.

Ah you know, I know what a military is. Imagine there was only one country, then any military spending would be a waste.

>Also many daily technology things you use, like the internet we are having this discussion on, was invented either by or for the military.

blabla, that's a stupid af argument

Like imagine the R&D 800 billion could give.

Fat fingered, not sure where the nut thing comes into play.

I can’t speak to high level corruption, but at the low levels we are so audited and so controlled everything is proper. If they just allowed us to do things differently at the low level we could save billions.

And if you think the military is zero value, you should tell Ukraine that. Or Europe for that matter, as the Ukraine war has greatly impacted energy prices and the world economy.

And saying no one should have a military is about as stupid as saying no one should have a gun. Your tree correct that if there was no violence we wouldn’t need the means to do it, but people are violent so we need the means to protect ourselves and our interests.

Also many daily technology things you use, like the internet we are having this discussion on, was invented either by or for the military. Even LCD screens were invented by a military scientist in his spare time, I got to meet him once.
