> Until 1996, a bank couldn't open branches across county lines

I'm beginning to understand why the US banking system is still such a mess today.

Top tier wording for an obvious question. Well done.

Georgia has a LOT of counties, regardless of population. And it used to be a law that banks couldn't open across multiple counties (both systems raise more questions than they answer I think). So when there was a financial crisis, they had a lot of banks, none of which could hold up well.

As a marketing professional, I’m impressed you made that in Canva! lol my mom just went through breast cancer surgery and treatment in 2021-22. We sympathize with the timing of the process 💕

Your chart is excellent, but I can't help but feel it downplays the horror that is cancer treatments the chemo side effects, neuropathy, surgical drains, residual pain from the radiation, hormonal train wreck..

I hope you have a full recovery... hang in there..

I love reading about stuff like this in politics. It's easy to assume that politicians only act on their own opinions and biases, and that there's always a really easy solution if you just pick the "correct" side of a debate. But no, sometimes well intentioned laws are just bad. The same way some game mechanics are just bad. Because understanding how a gazillion rules interact and play out in the real world is actually hard and unintuitive. And it's so wholesome when we can actually learn from mistakes like this, and be better for it.

I'd believe it, my county courthouse is a little more than 15 minutes away from me and around 30 from the furthest point in the county, not terrible honestly. Used to work in the jail that was connected to it so it was nice leaving only about 30 mins before my shift started

Triple negative means the cancer doesn't have estrogen or progesterone receptors, or make excessive HER2 proteins.

Herceptin is generally for HER2 positive cancer.

Georgia has 100? Does anyone know why?

It does. She managed to live an additional 2 years after her DX.

But her care before that was abominable (retired RN, here.)

An an information designer and caregiver, that's awesome. Well done! Good luck in your treatment.

Herceptin is the H in TCHP Taxotere Carboplatin Herceptin Perjeta

This is extremely confusing to read. It would be much more readable in a horizontal format with the labels within the bars, and without any lines making the viewer hunt from bar to the bar's label. It's also confusing what the columns and colors represent. Lot of problems here.

It was to have the ability to get to the courthouse or center of business in one days horse drawn carriage ride. Notice that flatter, more navigable areas have larger counties and the mountainous areas have smaller ones

Great data, hope you get better.

Chicago is a city, my dude. You mean "Illinois".

An additional fun stat - Texas has 254 counties - more than any other state.

Triple-positive breast cancer is a type of breast cancer. It has cancer cells that test positive for the following three features:

(1) estrogen receptors (2) progesterone receptors (3) a larger amount of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) protein

Triple positive breast cancer is very aggressive, but because we know three things helping it to grow, we have more weapons available to prohibit its growth.

Elmira, NY is on this list? That's wild

Yes -- people want me to reassure them that I'm "okay now," or "in remission," or "cured," or that the surgery "got it all out," or "had clear margins." When they ask like that, I know they want me to reassure them; they don't really want to hear the nitty gritty of how I'm doing, and what other treatments are still ahead of me.
