I bet it would look the same if it were education, instead of wealth

That could be, although I don't think the US would be as far off the line in that graph.

Bananas rising, and not for sex-ed condom demos.

I heard that there's a banana blight, and the bananas we know (The Cavendish) will probably be wiped out. Maybe that's the reason for the inflation.

Oh, here

Death rates for cars are dropping, guns holding steady, and drugs skyrocketing.

Cars are safer and traffic so heavy, fatal accidents declined. Gun homicides are down but suicides are up so the line has held steady.
When people read drugs, the junkie shooting up in an alley comes to mind, but this line is caused by the huge increase in prescription medication overdoses. I suspect, like the guns, suicides play a major role. It's easier to resolve to swallow a bottle of pills, than pull the trigger.

Yep.

Guess what, in the last ten years Hawaii has had no blizzards, not one. Don't confuse deep snowfall with a blizzard. During a blizzard snow may not be falling at all, it could be wind blown snow already on the ground. Of course for that it would have to be colder than an EX's heart for the snow to fall and still be loose enough to blow around later.

Wait. WAIT. WAIT.














Exes have hearts?:eyebrow:

I still have my last ex's heart. It's in a jar, on a shelf.:cool:

Bet it's cold, don't touch that jar without a potholder or gloves. http://cellar.org/2015/frozen.gif

A new record year for US car sales, the last record set in 2000. Stolen from.

Estimated number of Armed Rump Militias by state. Each could be five guys drilling in some guys driveway, or 500 guys doing field maneuvers.
The estimate is 100,000 total members, about 40% of them active.

What real estate is worth... or why the rent is too damn high.
DC is worth $3 Billion a sq mile, and NYC facing Central Park is $131 Billion a sq mile, but Wyoming is only $581,000 a square mile.
There are interactive maps for the US and NYC here.

Hey, I can see DC on a US map!
