The article is describing economic impacts; you should compare countries by the size of their economies. If, on the other hand, this was an article about something like a tug of war then listing countries by their population would certainly make more sense.

AOC is one of hundreds of representatives, she can not do it alone, but her voting record shows that she will vote for these issues every time.

All we can expect of our representatives is to vote in our favor and she does.

Saying “she hasn’t done anything” make you sound as dumb as a rock.

“Why hasn’t the one representing out of 435 fix our healthcare system” it’s because there are inbred republicans on the other side of the isle.

40% of millennials do not own a home I’m sorry but what the fuck is this data. Look around! I realize this is official USA data.

I think this would work until a state started to get gobbled up and enough states don't want to render aid :/

Going to need more formal correlation stats if you're trying to do anything other than trick people into arriving at false causation/conclusion effects.

Pacifica definitely gets Alaska

Crime and murders as a whole spiked from 2020 on in the United States. I don’t have a dog in this fight or know anything about the two but showing info like this is tantamount to saying “number pandemics between the two.” Kind of a correlation is not causation issue, isn’t it? (Genuine question, I’m not being snotty).

Texas produces almost no crops. It's soil is mostly clay. Everything you buy in the produce section is either from CA or MX. And tech company HQs...for the tax giveaways. TX has no human capital. Tesla's moving its engineering HQ back to CA from TX already. Lol

Effective rate of 0.75%. You're incorrect. We tax the income high earners a lot, though, which is the correct way to do it.

I read that as murders being a problem that nobody has figured out.

The "parasite state" (as you describe) Texas produces a whole lot of oil, agriculture, and has multiple tech companies. It ranks 15th out of 50 in GDP per capita and has a high net migration rate.

Just looked it up and it appears to be a local county property tax the varies a lot it seems.

The chart bias, the only reason that rest of the population is divided into four segments “new countries” is to give the appearance that the large red area makes up a majority.

Good riddance to New America

I’m 100% sure southern Illinois will not be a part of New Canada and eastern Washington and Oregon will be in New America. Nevada, eastern California, and Virginia outside the DC metro area might go to New America too.

There are no red and blue states. Only purple states.

50% of millennial 30 year olds own homes? Doubt it

Most of human history disagrees with you.

People have already covered the political angle of this, but I would like to add on my complaint that this subreddit is called “data is BEAUTIFUL” but there’s nothing beautiful about representing four groups of data with two shades of light grey and two nearly identical shades of blue.
