While this research is probably easier than a part of the others, it definitely seems underfundend.

Surely one day they can find a cure for gun

Might you have meant this link?

However I cannot find those terms defined there. I found this:

Market income inequality (before transfers and taxes)
Gross income inequality (after transfers and before taxes)
Disposable income inequality (after transfers and taxes)​

I cannot see how it would make sense to plot disposable gini as additive with market gini. Is it saying that say in China market gini is nearly zero, or nearly equal to disposable gini, or that the total gini can be split into market and disposable components? Surely the function to turn a value into a gini index means you cannot do those sort of things like you could with a single value?

Spoiler Rant :

In the PDF above the image legends are text, but the OECD has made the text of their documents images, to make it harder for people to quote it. What part of their mandate is that working towards?

They're not stacked, they're shown concurrently with each other, but the top of each colour is the relevant Gini. They're able get away with this because in every case, disposable gini is lower than raw market gini, meaning that the side of the blue is implicitly showing the size of the reduction from those effects. For China it's showing there's barely any post-market redistribution happening.

I would have shown this as a range plot with two dots, rather than bars, for exactly this type of confusion.

One day... A gun vaccine maybe.

Has the USA managed to reclaim the advantage it had in 2000 yet

?

 

[Ferocitus]

Data from one year later and it doesn't seem the USA has improved the balance.

 

[really]

What's the measure? Is it goods or goods and services?

I feel there is something missing here.

PS: But yeah, in truth, the maps don't really tell us anything, the graph is more interesting and the data is more complicated. And one probably should throw in regional powers as well like South Africa or Brazil and maybe even Russia. India of course deserves a spot on its own regardless, and then you can just do "biggest trading partner per country" and now I have to look that map up

PPS: Wikipedia has a good map for that, split between exports and imports, quite interesting to look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_leading_trade_partners

Am about 95% sure it's goods

Cool I haven't seen that one.

Thanks. I've seen that map, and many more, as well as the various collections in wiki.
The graphs I showed were purely based on which of the US or China had the greater share.
I thought they were interesting because that seems to be one very great source of tension between
China and the USA.
Of course the actual trade figures are far, far more complicated and intricate. But there are
organizations for whom the US/China division is important enough that they send it out to
their clients.

My city's recent covid cases in pie charts

For context, we have about 75% who got their first shot and about 52% who got their second shot, IIRC as of last week

 

[Paul in Saudi]

Here is a neat one. I wonder if this link will generate a preview.

https://streets.mn/2016/07/07/chart-of-the-day-vehicle-weight-vs-road-damage-levels/

Nope.

 

[warpus]

My city's covid stats. For context, population of the metro area is approaching 500,000

At the height of the pandemic we were registering about 150 or so new cases a day from what I remember

Nope.

I like the last point .

Nope.

Basically why you need road-pricing (that takes into account vehicle weight).

I do not think road damage is the biggest externality of car use.

 

[El_Machinae]

The chart won't take into consideration the quality of the road's resistance.

With DR 5/magic, you can take dagger hits all day, but a greataxe will eventually take you down. That's despite the fact that a d12 is only a bit bigger than a d4.

Indeed the damage pales in comparison to the 9-ton transport. So maybe it's worth driving a little further to a local farmer's market? If you carpool?
