Mind blowing facts, now with 100% more maps

I had never heard of it, was in Phoenix for 3 weeks for work and they were everywhere. I was fairly impressed with them, comparatively.

 

Not really sure what FIAT debt is, but found this interesting as I knew the US what be tops, but surprised that Japan comes in at number 2.

$63 trillion of fiat-denominated world debt, some of it not redeemable for 30 years.

 

not really surprising to me when you consider Japan basically has no home grown resources outside of now tech. Part of the reason they were trying to gain world standing with the Axis powers as far back as WWII, they don't have much to rely on within their own boundaries. When you have to import everything, you can drive up debt.

Now ours is ridiculous IMO, but that's another story

 

This is neat, not sure where to put it.

Is it possible that the people in the "shitty" (veiled term for 'shithole', you can't fool me) neighborhoods, just can't afford, or aren't interested in, gps devices to track their jogging/travel?

 

That’s what he said? He didn’t say no one was running around he said they aren’t running around with these devices.

 

There are a wide variety of possibilities.

 

Didn’t know if this was the best place to put this:

 

As a pharmacist, I was curious how the line would look for prescription drugs. I calculated it based on the same source data; BLS 1997-2017. It came out as 108.9%. This is still more than inflation (55.6%), but the lowest of the healthcare costs, and way lower than hospital services. Drug pricing is always is a main focus in the news/politics because the pharma industry is an easy villain, however, hospital costs clearly have been the biggest contributor of increasing healthcare spend.

 

Kwik Trip crushes QT

 

It's not gonna touch off a powder keg unless you post the polotics caption that goes with it

 

Would like to see housing over a longer period of time i.e. when mostly of the baby boomers were buying their houses (77-97)

 

What causes the variance among counties in Florida?

 

Makes sense. I was just noticing how the map mostly moves in smooth gradations from one color to the next but Florida is kind of splotchy. Looks like Utah and Colorado have some mixed up areas too though

 

They must not have included us because we don’t have counties...

 

Wisconsinites fuckin drink

 

This doesn't really make sense to me. How do they classify something as a bar

 

I believe it.

Maybe it was just the area of Milwaukee where I was staying, but the corner bars were as numerous as bodegas in NYC or Casey's across the midwest.

 

I've never been in a place where grocery stores out numbered establishments selling alcohol. Who buys all that food?

 

Can you buy alcohol there? Can you buy a head of lettuce?

If yes to the first and no to the second, you’re a bar.

 

There has to be some other classification for the bar because

 

Convenience stores and gas stations are probably included in that total

 

Here comes Arkadin trying to input his own experiences as all knowing facts

 

This is what is defined as a bar in the map:

This industry comprises establishments known as bars, taverns, nightclubs, or drinking places primarily engaged in preparing and serving alcoholic beverages for immediate consumption. These establishments may also provide limited food services.​

Here is what isn't defined as "a bar" in the map:

• Preparing and serving alcoholic beverages (i.e., not known as bars or taverns) and providing food services to patrons who order and are served while seated and pay after eating--are classified in Industry 722110, Full-Service Restaurants;
• Preparing and serving alcoholic beverages (i.e., not known as bars or taverns) and providing food services to patrons who generally order or select items and pay before eating--are classified in Industry 72221, Limited-Service Eating Places;
• Operating a civic or social association with a bar for the association members--are classified in Industry 81341, Civic and Social Organizations;
• Retailing packaged alcoholic beverages not for immediate consumption on the premises--are classified in Industry 445310, Beer, Wine, and Liquor Stores; and
• Operating discotheques or dance clubs without selling alcoholic beverages--are classified in Industry 713990, All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries.

Here's what's generally accepted as "a grocery store":

• This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in retailing a general line of food products.

Talking about supermarkets, grocery stores, bodegas, convenience stores, etc.

 

Bitches be shopping

 

my guess is forest cover

edit

pulled from the methodology of another satellite radiation model:
model uses hourly radiance images from geostationary weather satellites, daily snow cover data, and monthly averages of atmospheric water vapor, trace gases, and the amount of aerosols in the atmosphere to calculate the hourly total insolation (sun and sky) falling on a horizontal surface. Atmospheric water vapor, trace gases, and aerosols are derived from a variety of sources.

 

The red and pink are concentrated on the southern portion of the map

 

I would guess, high wealth individuals incomes pushing up the average household incomes but most credit scores max out at 850.

 

with alaska I'm going to guess it's a) lack of people so the numbers can be skewed by fewer people and b) oil industry being the majority of their economy. Have oilfield workers making good money, and probably blow it like crazy and have shit credit

 

There are so many layers to this post.

Are you calling out the banks in Alaska and blaming them for people's bad credit?
Are you asking The Banks to comment on the post about Alaska?
Are you combining the two ideas into a pun?

I don't know what to believe right now.

 

I wouldn't have expected that for Hawaii. They must be including part-time residents in there.

 

right, but you see the unintentional pun?

 

Yeah

that's why it's a pun

Am I the only one seeing this?

 

800+ here.

But most Alaskans spend their money pretty aggressively. Cabin, toys, vacations, etc. despite being top in income I bet we’re pretty low in the median savings department. Oil field, mining, fishing lifestyles especially

 

Everyone sees it, it just isn’t funny.

 

Whoever originally came up with that was really stoned in class

 

Combo breaker

It was kinda funny!
