It's amazing how parents get caught up in these name trends. But if you ask them, they will deny trends have anything to do with it.

My friend gave her daughter the number one girls' name. I tried to tell her she would regret it. I tried to tell her that, as the owner of THE number one name of the entire 1980s, I knew firsthand how much her daughter also would regret their choice. She wouldn't listen.

Interesting in its duplicity....



1) The unlabeled vertical axis: How close are 108.6 and 101.7? The chart appears to separate them by a factor of 5.

2) The welfare recipient count includes all members of the household; the jobholder count only counts the jobholder.

3) There's a lot of overlap. Many jobs don't pay enough to keep you off of welfare, and some types of welfare in fact require you to have a job.

Duplicity is an understatement.

Quote:
Fox's 108.6 million figure for the number of "people on welfare" comes from a Census Bureau's account (Table 2) of participation in means-tested programs, which include "anyone residing in a household in which one or more people received benefits" in the fourth quarter of 2011, thus including individuals who did not themselves receive government benefits.

On the other hand, the "people with a full time job" figure Fox used included only individuals who worked, not individuals residing in a household where at least one person works.
But they are right about one thing, there are too many people eligible for benefits. Congress should be working on getting those people to work, at a living wage, by poking the economy in the ass.

I think this is a neat graphical interface to show the reader

3 and 4 both are whole face and no hair showing. Is it the color?

(edit after reading link- yes.)

(edit after reading comments in link- maybe not. A "chador" is a cloak held shut with hands or teeth, apparently.)
