Wsj is really behind on the headlines
“Is it easy” is such a stupid opinion poll.
Who the hell did they poll?
I’m shocked that more people think marriage or children is “very easy or somewhat easy” compared to an annual vacation.
Edit: I guess if you interpret it as ever getting married or having a child (and nothing thereafter) then…maybe?
I love radar charts from an aesthetic perspective, but I’ve never heard a convincing case where they’re the best way to convey information.
Does a radar chart have any advantage here over a bar chart? To me this is a case of data is beautiful but the beauty is actually kind of distracting from the message of the data.
