Reply to [OC] Around 30% of countries spend more than 2% of GDP on their military by IndeterminateYogurt
It's alright but colors are not clear and I wished points were numbered and sorted highest to lowest in a legend on the side. Maybe harder to implement than I imagine.

Reply to comment by Peelboy in [OC] Highest paid athletes globally in 2022 by Far_Individual637
I'm surprised that none of the LIV golfers made the list. Maybe because most details of their contracts have been kept secret. Golf Monthly estimates Phil Mickelson's 2022 total earnings at $138 million, the bulk of that in the upfront payment of half of his $200 million signing bonus. They estimate Dustin Johnson's 2022 earnings at $97 million.

Ok now we're just arguing semantics. Yes, there probably are one or two black bears currently living in South Dakota; whether you want to call that a semi-permanent population is up to you.
Doesn't change the fact that the OP's data is completely laughable to anyone who's spent time outdoors in Wyoming or South Dakota, which is the real issue here.

Why not just put the % of GDP per Capita on Military Spending on the y-axis? This way the audience wouldn’t need to do the math themselves.

Oh it's the guy with the vendetta again. Not afraid to let his map look shit as long as non eu countries are just completely erased. Even though the data is there...

There’s plenty of defense industry globally. Most sovereign states prefer local defense goods.

Fair enough. I just think it is the researcher's responsibility to understand if the definitions of "gun violence" and general reporting trends are directionally consistent across countries. If there are significant differences, then make some adjustments to the include/exclude rules and state them for your readers. If you don't do that, then we just spiral down into whataboutism in the thread. Also, we can't collectively draw any conclusions from your otherwise good work. Thanks for doing this.

It’s only perceived as “overkill” and “unnecessary” until you need the USA’s help. Then you’re glad that the US spends money on defense so her friends don’t have to.

This map is inaccurate. There are at least 53 Bears in Illinois, concentrated in the Chicagoland area.

I’m from Texas and have never seen a bear here. First bear I saw in the wild was in Monterrey Mexico. I was hiking up in the mountains. It was a small black bear.

Yea, but how many of those bears are just tourists from Canada?

The UP of Michigan has to be carrying so much for that whole state. You basically have to step over black bears.

I mean I guess in a existential way any process, recycling or not, has an "environmental impact". If the only cost is energy, though, we could have that impact be pretty minimal.

Numbers are important to understanding the world, though of course there could be bias in any data set. It would be really worthwhile if you could identify a potential cause for bias in the data set. When data seems strange, it could be a sampling artifact (bias), or it could be real and up to us to uncover the reason for the strangeness...
I'll put my tin-foil speculations hat on for a second to offer a pro gun explanation for the data: what if higher rates of gun ownership led overall to fewer crimes overall because some sort of deterrence from gun owning population?
The point is, it could be bias, however the differences are quite large, suggesting that it's more likely to be incomplete understanding of the factors at play, warranting research studies to investigate why such differences in crime might exist between two quite similar countries.
