I don't know what did it but something changed inside me a number of years ago where now I have this uncontrollable reaction of disgust whenever I see graphs and charts like this. Maybe I've viewed too many "reports" from places like the Heartland Institute and Fox News.
Seeing charts with missing information or misleading/inaccurate heights for things kicks off my bullshit detector and throws me in defensive mode thinking, "what agenda are they pushing here?" There's an instant assumption of nefarious intent.
I can't be the only one, can I?
