Peter Thiel's Graph of the Year
- officialjunk 13y agowow. ew. what a sad story that graph tells. will these trends continue? i'd be interested to see these graphs over a larger time scale too.
- dekhn 13y agoThis graph makes no sense. You can't compare these two time series on a single linear graph- notice the magnitude of the debt in is hundreds of billions. However, converting money into 2012 using exponential scaling, so magnitude variations between the two graphs aren't comparable. Further, debt amount is a summed magnitude (extrinsic value) while the median wage is an aggregate denominated value (instrinsic) so again, comparisons are misleading. The debt should be listed per individual, or perhaps the functional relationship between individual wage and debt should be charted.
