For anybody that's interested, it looks like the source of this visualization is sort of this Reddit post on r/dataisbeautiful.

At the very least, it's OC of the same numbers, but slightly different layout.

Thanks for the source

Gotta love how the mods locked that post 😂 Reddit is such a cesspool

It's an official rule in r/dataisbeautiful to allow US-centric posts only on Thursdays (probably to prevent the drowning out of other stuff), so that's fine in my book.

Data is ugly - you skipped the first term of Obama and trump and the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

The Lehman Brothers would have to also include Bush's term, and no where near any inaguration. The first term of obama would still have left Trump II looking pretty lonely down there, with a smidge of the fallout from the 2008 meltdown still going down for the first few weeks, but by March it had recovered enough to be above his inauguration numbers. Either Bush term would have kept Trump II company down there indexed from inauguration, which is consistent with the reality that republicans seem to be bad for the economy.

The issue is that you can kick him out. You must keep him for at least 4 years...
