(kinda) A great website to share if you have no idea how to explain the downfall of the US economy.
Edit: Thanks to everyone who provided insight on this website. I’ve had this in my bookmarks for a very long time and was curious how it held up.
ah ya, “facts”, sure many of these graphs can be based on real data, hell maybe even all of them, but then you take a step back and look at these graphes, are the fun arrows and lines at 1971 actually meaningful? or are they there to try and use the data to shape an opinion? taking advantage of the average person’s statistic illiteracy, to push some form of partisan agenda?
such as the first graph, we have a nice little arrow and a dot with the number 90.84% but the actual diverging of the variables doesn’t start until later, when exactly? you can’t tell because the graph only labels three data points on the X axis!, and this isn’t the only deliberately misleading graph here, that the authors are using to openly lie about the data to those who aren’t well versed in this stuff.
facts don’t have a Libertarian Bias, but Libertarians sure are prone to spreading lies.
