What on Earth is that pie chart doing on the CBSN pot graphic?

:D and the last one as well! Dumb graphic designers sent in to do a statistical analyst's job.

Both those cases look like...
Hey Harry, we have to do a visual for _____, drag out stock chart #______ and pretty it up. Doesn't have to make sense as long as it's colorful. :lol:

Percentage of people in the year the chart was made who had tried pot - 51%
Percentage of people in the year before the chart was made who had tried pot - 43%
Percentage of people in 1997 who had tried pot - 34%

I did figure out what they were trying to say, despite the pie chart.

I was asking why the pie chart was there. A pie chart is for when all options are mutually exclusive, and all options are listed (or the common options, plus "other") and therefore all percentages add to 100%.

The "51%" wedge of pie is considerably less than half of the pie on that graphic.

Agree, the information is there but the pie chart is bonkers.

Here's another undated gem I found.

You have an interesting desk, xoB.

I've had numerous correspondences with local, state, and federal governments, but this one dazzled me with acronyms.
After 30 years of buying Federal Flood Insurance there was suddenly a five fold increase in the cost. Google gave me the name and address in DC of the acting director. I wrote and told him, nay nay, I was not going to pay to replace million dollar homes, built on barrier islands, every five years.

Joe is an unusual name for a woman. Especially with an E at the end.

Most likely 0 out of a 1000 births when she was born.

I had always assumed if I met someone who said their name was Joe, their real name was Joseph... or Mr Earl. ;)

Fuck I'm lost, again.

Still.

Letter ends with "feel free to contact Joe. She's great."
