More of a politically-loaded chart than map, but still: I particularly like Egypt, yeah I'm sure a country with a ~5% historical rate of growth will see a sustained growth of >15% year-on-year (this is using the 2019 rather than 2017 figures as a base).

Egypt and India are nonsensical. Brazil, Turkey and probably China are very optimistic. Climate change is going to wallop India & Egypt, and the gradual erosion of the free trade consensus is going to hit them all. The combination is going to drastically reduce growth rates in the developing world over the next decade+. A bad chart, data wise. But its a nice design I guess, at least.

Private Speech posted:More of a politically-loaded chart than map, but still: Yes Japan, a country with the same inflation-adjusted GDP in 1993 as 2019 is suddenly going to take off and get a 30% boost in 11 years. Egypt is quite a hoot too. Even in Sisi’s dreams those numbers aren’t even remotely attainable. That source just looks like some random set of online idiots though , "visual capitalist"? E: also PPP is a really dumb way to rank global economies. PPP is a good way to rank GDP per capita in terms of quality of life, but makes absolutely zero sense to rank GDP PPP (per capita or no) for world economic output. PPP has a far lower effect on world trade, especially for countries that are dependent upon primary resource extraction like Russia and Brazil and (with Egypt’s new natural gas field) Egypt. ppp doesn’t matter whatsoever if you’re selling oil. So their real forecast is Egypt at around 1.5 tn by 2030 which is theoretically possible if that gargantuan gas field comes online in time including freezing and all other necessary infrastructure. But, there is absolutely 0 chance of that occurring on time, let alone way beyond projections as anyone with the slightest clue about Egypt would know.

The modern South proper basically starts when you're headed south from DC and leave it's suburbs. So yes, the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area is the South. That is not the Deep South though.

Virginia was the goddamn capital of the confederacy, and before that the cradle of American-style slavery. It's always The South. Charitably, those areas consistently held by the Union Army may be accorded border status.

Yeah it's completely arbitrary and their methodology was merely "how can we manipulate these employment figures so people can go OOH SCARY WALMART HAS ALL THE JOBS but also we don't look too blatant about it". For what it's worth on the Denver Airport topic, all regularly scheduled commercial airliner served airports in the country are owned by either a government directly or an entity owned by multiple governments e.g. the major commercial airports in the NYC area being owned by the Port Authority that is an entity of both NJ and NY. Except for the Branson, Missouri airport, which is owned and operated by a private corporation, and incidentally barely has any services - currently only receiving seasonal flight schedules from Frontier Airlines. There have been attempts to privatize American scheduled service airports in the past, it's legal to do so with approval from the FAA and several airports were granted preliminary permission in the 2000s. But they've essentially all collapsed from lack of investment interest and the fact that all major and minor airlines prefer to work with governments. It's said airlines that operate services between the US and countries with major privatized and part-privatized airports find the government airports of the US far nicer to deal with. (There are tons of actually privately owned airports across the US of course. But they're only serving things like business/personal charters, people flying their own hobby aircraft, crop dusting, etc. Not airliners outside of special events.)

Guavanaut posted:So did ships in the Mediterranean and Black Sea just not bother keeping logs? I guess the brutal domination of the Mediterranean by the Barbary States kept Europeans out of the Mediterranean for 115 years. That's probably why the French built a canal linking the Mediterranean to the Atlantic ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_du_Midi ), so they could ship out of Marseille without being dominated by the space-age-tech Berber warships. But more seriously, good question. I guess this is not all ships, but only those which sailed to/from colonies directly? I'm still surprised you don't see more from like, Marseille, as I imagine not all French ships going to the New World departed from the Atlantic ports. E: Also it's a bummer that Portugal is missing. I'm also suspicious that Lima has like two ships going into and out of it, given that that's the main port where all of Bolivia's massive wealth sailed out of.

The map is like a perfect illustration of the Atlantic triangular slave trade; so the main ports should be Nantes, La Rochelle, Le Havre and Bordeaux. Saint-Malo, Lorient, Honfleur, Marseille, Dunkerque, Rochefort, Vannes, Bayonne and Brest also took part in the triangular trade.
