I love political discussion but for some reason women don't want to know me.

Unrelated, but I'm against gay marriage, woman's rights, abortion, big government, minorities taking over my country and I HATE crooked Hillary.

I like that over half of people polled don't care. They really went through a lot of effort to show that the majority opinion is 'eh', and that the other two stances are both fairly close.

People say they don't care until I start lecturing them on how they are contributing to capitalist exploitation and what form of execution I would have chosen for them as a Soviet commissar. They just don't know what a strong, principled opinion looks like.

I really hope you're being sarcastic, but if not, let's start with how different periods of sampling are placed on the same graph as if they're directly comparable.

They're labeled as percentages, which would indeed make them directly comparable.

Also the last one is the projected budget for just the first year of his presidency. It's a bit disingenuous to compare that to the actual average spending over the whole presidency of his predecessors.

True enough, I just assumed this graph was shown in the context of "look how great I am, spending so much more than my predecessors" but that might just be an unfair assumption. This thread has gotten me so used to dishonest use of graphs.

I guess it all depends what conclusions they drew from the graph when they showed it.

Even if he won't actually invest as much as he promises into infrastructure, that still doesn't make the graph bad in any way. Duterte being a bad guy and the graph being bad are completely separate things.

Yes, that's why I agreed that I might have misjudged the whole thing :confused:

I feel like for this one context matters a bit more, there's nothing wrong with the graph itself but if it was used to show how much better Duterte is because he spends more on infrastructure it would in my opinion be disingenuous to compare the theoretical budget of his first year as president to the average spending across the whole presidency of others.

You'll note they are there, but the separating lines don't go all the way around so you can only make sense of a half of each circle, lol

"Cereals, food" is probably cause their source on cereal use gave breakdowns of food use vs industrial use of cereals. Its obvious it should be cereals being eaten in context, but then who are we to say what's really obvious in context because the title lists extra years with a note saying those extra years weren't included.

E. Wait they are there and it's missing dividing lines as well as text? This chart is like an onion, man.

Having strong convictions is fine, bringing them up in every possible context and being unable to empathize with other views is not. We all know people like this.

That's exactly how it was used, and why I brought it up. It was one slide in an entire presentation laying out the Duterte administration's infrastructure plans.

86.33% are funds for teacher raises.

Hier graben!
I think I got it now. Everything except the raises add up to 100%. So of the 69.5% for common school districts, 86.33% is spent on raises.

A pie chart is a strange choice for representing a set and subset of data. Not sure if my terminology is right.

Edit: Whatever OK is spending on their teachers, they clearly need to spend much more.

I think the size of the slices actually does make sense but it's very poorly presented - if you ignore the "86.33%" number and pretend the red slice is orange, it all works out. Then the red slice is the proportion of the total orange slice that goes towards teacher's raises (86.33% of that slice, so about 60% of the total pie).

It does fail at the #1 purpose of a chart though, which is to present information in a way that makes it easy to understand.

The chart is absolutely succeeding at its #1 purpose. Which is to show you, the dimwitted taxpayer, how much raises for those undeserving greedy drat teachers is costing you, the hardworking taxpayer.

It's a pretty goodbad chart.
