>considering they don't let over half the population drive. I wonder if the low death rates in some countries are driven by lower car ownership in general.

The point of reporting deaths per 100k is to account for differences in the number of drivers. And Saudi Arabia's road death rate per 100k is probably so high exactly because only men can drive.

Edit: It's per total population not per driver. My mistake. I still maintain Saudi road death rates are high because only men can drive.

I'm surprised that Saudi Arabia's road death rate per 100k people is so high, considering they don't let over half the population drive. I wonder if the low death rates in some countries are driven by lower car ownership in general.

How on Earth did you get 23 interviews on 27 applications? And then 20 offers from 23 interviews??? Even if I'm applying to like McDonalds a few of the postings are old or they don't see my application or something

Teach me the way, sensei

I disagree with you (especially on the colour point), but at least you took the time to make your points constructive. Too many people were just saying "you did the worst job possible" and that is not a helpful way to give feedback.

That is a pretty crazy spike! Once upon a time I used to build oil and gas conferences. New Mexico wasn't even in the top ten US states we were looking at for shale oil/tight oil development. I got out of that space around 2010, which looks like when things started picking up for New Mexico. Pretty amazing what the last decade has done!

Don't forget hospital and EMS infrastructure

Good reminder! Always important when using scatter plots.

Correlation=Causation; poors can't drive.

Correlation/=Causation; higher income per capita likely means better funded government and better roads and safety programs. It also means there are more protections for workers to prevent unsafe practices that are more likely to lead to accidents.

From our newsletter:

Oil production growth since 2000:

• 🇲🇽 Mexico: -47%

• 🇻🇪 Venezuela: -77%

• NEW MEXICO: +812%

With a tiny fraction of the population of Venezuela and Mexico, the US state of New Mexico has experienced a boom in its oil & gas sector in recent years, surpassing the LatAm oil giants' production.

According to a Financial Times story by Myles McCormick, the boom accelerated after Russia invaded Ukraine, which drove Russia out of the list of US suppliers, and demand for domestic oil to record levels.

Aside from the obvious economic perks this brings to the state and the US, New Mexico's workforce is thriving. There's been a great decline in unemployment and a great increase in wages.

People working in the industry can earn over $27/hour, forcing companies in other sectors to compete. According to McCormick, Burger King is now offering $28/hour in NM, compared to $19/hour in New York City (so 47% higher than one of the most expensive cities to live in).

McCormick's analysis also points out that the increased production has taken the state's budget from $6B four years ago to around $9.5B this year, leading to increased spending in education, housing, healthcare, and infrastructure.

But why are they formatted that way? Why is it just some? What’s the relation between locations with dashes?

Fr. Ted would be my guess

Η ζωή εκεί πέρα σας αγχώνει σε άλλους τρόπους.

Could represent "generic Ireland" seeing that it's the centre of the country, in which case I'd say Fr. Ted. If it was located correctly, it should be in the Atlantic, west of Galway, just past where they dump "the old glow-in-the-dark".
