But notice new jobs created by more people reading more mail. According to economists, this would increase the GDP and destroy unemployment. Innovation always is good for the economy.

I'm guessing that when they say Islam, except for Michigan, it's the "Nation of Islam" which most other Muslims around the world would say is bullshit.

Not that the entire map isn't bullshit. But you know.

Why not Michigan?

Don't you know those Islamers are creeping around the country spreading Sharia and forcing abortions so they can eat Christian babies? :eek2:

My brain will see either, but not both

I stumbled into a militant bicycle site where there was all this bullshit about bike riders can do no wrong and drivers + pedestrians are the devil's spawn.
I did, however, discover this cart, which originated at dshort.com, who make all sorts of interesting charts for financial advisors.

Look at the size of the udders on that poor, legless, sightless cat!!!!

:mg:

Udder, singular, one per cat/bird. Teats are another matter.

People seem less fascinated with cars than they once were. Maybe because the cars I grew up with were such crap, I take more of a utilitarian approach. I like those old muscle cars but I'm unlikely to drive one.

Plus, who wants to jump in the car to sit in traffic?

It started the fall-off before the depression. It doesn't follow cost. It doesn't follow supply.

This is a systemic change. Probably means the end of America.

I wonder what a chart of new road building would look like overlaid on this chart?

There are few frontiers left in the USA and the only road building I see is putting in more lanes and higher capacity interchanges and stuff.
