Meh, its not a perfect correlation (and the time series for the poverty map and the diabetes map are different), but most chronic diseases tend correlate with poverty pretty well. You should look at a map of obesity. It follows the same form.
Nah, that's actually a my bad for not getting my point across. Looking back on my comment: I know I was trying to commend you, but I must've gave up on trying, because it fell completely flat (Not to just you, but to me too when I reread my reply). Dunno where my head was when I posted it, but I can see that I stopped trying at some point and just hit "send"
The reason I commented to your post at all was because my first reaction was, "holy shit, that's so specifically accurate and funny at the same time... how was this person seeing a fucking heat map, and able to respond with their own map, that is both wildly accurate and hilarious, given the context".
So I scoured the maps, because I wanted to commend you and also try and be as witty. Hawaii was one of the only (obvious) differences I could find (which makes sense when talking about diabetes and poverty)... but then idk what I did. Just literally gave up on being clever and posted a "spot the difference" comment
So yeah, doesn't much matter in the grand scheme of things, but I still wanted to let ya know just in case... I thought your comment of the map was surprisingly astute, and I was kinda flabbergasted that it seemed like you just had that on standby. Like you were just waiting for this moment your whole freaking life, and then pulled that very specifically accurate map out of your ass, as soon as it was relevant.
My comment fell flat on it's face, because it truly couldn't be topped. And I think I must've gotten distracted and gave up on my response, because the only thing I really wanted to convey was... fucking brava my friend. That was some S-tier shit you dropped; and so casually too. It wasn't necessarily news to me, but hot damn if it wasn't quick.
My original comment should've just been "you win" or some shit like that, but I failed on both ends to get that across
So very much so... holy hell friend bwahahahaha!!! Well fucking done (and pardon my language). But that was the very definition of "under-rated comment" to me. My applause to you
