     Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages).

     The United States sits alone in the bottom right quadrant due to its much higher spending and below-average life expectancy.

     This map shows only people. It is a beautiful illustration of where people are concentrated.

     If you squint, you can see Australia and New Zealand.

     80% of Black Americans said social media help shed light on rarely discussed issues; the same share of White Americans said these sites distract from more important issues.
