PittTheElder posted:Because it can be. Honestly that kinda hits the nail on the head. Why are Warhammer minis so expensive when they're just bits of plastic or why are Magic cards so expensive when they're just cardboard? Same reason basically. The razor and blades thing someone pointed out is more accurate but if there's a product out there and people are willing to pay, well, that's what you'll pay for it.

Of course, people don't realize how much cheaper it would be to get a B&W laser printer and use a print shop for the rare times you actually need color.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Here's a huuuuge version The Post did an article debunking these graphs, that includes some good bits: quote:So what is this graph? No idea. If you have an idea, let me know. quote:So why did Trump tweet it? Because, as has often been the case, the details are less important than the political point. If a bunch of graphs claim to show how Obama has been bad for the economy, boom. Retweet. If some jerk goes through each one and notes why it's wrong or skewed, that doesn't detract from the main point, which is that Obama is bad. If challenged, Trump can simply blame the originator of what he retweeted, which he has often proven willing to do. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...iled/?tid=sm_fb But then, this reminds me of Ben Stein's interview with the Guardian today where he says he doesn't think Trump understands economics and that he would be a disaster for the United States, but he'll vote for him anyway because he'll restore national pride.

This is a guess, but I think blue is births, green is deaths, numbers are total pop? Only thing that sorta makes sense, after a couple minutes looking at it on my phone.

Seems to me that they are trying to hide an alarming 50% population growth in the last decade through abuse of graphs.

# ? Jun 4, 2016 18:52 |

Maybe the number represents an absolute figure and the bar is a percentage of that figure compared to some other unlisted total that's free to fluctuate (yeah right)

It's the population of Saudi Arabia presented in table form. The graph is just a background image.

Holy poo poo I just found another one in yospos: Edit: It's from this book apparently, pages 99-102, if anyone wants to waste some time: https://www.google.com/url?url=http...e6vBSpeJY3Uwo3Q (PDF warning). The "Destination" from the sign is on p 119, but it's not very funny. mobby_6kl has a new favorite as of 23:55 on Jun 9, 2016 |

That's actually one of the rare cases where a radial graph has value, because there's a relationship between adjacent 'spokes.'
