what is the point of this chart? how is it supposed to be better than putting time along the X-axis and plotting both variables on the Y?

is it just not wanting to have two different scales on the Y axis?

I bet using time on the x axis yields a chart with two lines that don't appear very correlated.

I really wonder how someone goes about making something so bad.

Are you starting off with a stupid assumption, then purposefully finding an abstruse way to "prove" it?

Or do you find yourself loving around with data sets and graphs, notice a correlation, then make no attempt whatsoever to confirm it?

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
The graph (either version) sort of loosely supports the idea that gas prices affect presidential approval with a lag of about a month or something. Still just a correlation obviously but you can see this lag effect manifest on the dumb chart as its tendency to turn counter-clockwise more than clockwise. I think it would be interesting to see a plot of presidential approval vs "average gas price over the previous 3 months" or something like that. And also to see more data than just Biden's. Obviously presidential approval is more complicated than just gas prices but it wouldn't surprise me if there was a grain of truth in there.

Actually, unless I’m reading these charts wrong, the implication is high gas prices = high approval somehow. Which is even funnier.

She was elected by the Tory party though, which is a kind of election. In the same way that Xi was elected by the CCP, but elected is elected (until ejected)

I mean yes but that is not the same way that some of the others were elected. And I fear that if I were to seize power in a coup I could argue that I had also been elected via the one man one vote system.

To be fair, with the level of voting rights in the 1700s in the UK, she may have been 'elected' by a larger proportion of the population than some of the older guys.

It'd take some loving about with variables but I'm sure there is a kernel of truth in there. But more likely decreasing approval is correlated with economic drivers which blah blah blah gas prices blah blah blah global politics. It's all smoke and mirrors and burn everything to the ground and retreat to the trees my simian friends.

Well, clearly it's the other way around - approval goes up, then with a lag gas prices also go up. It's true, jack!

That's still causality. Now if the ball dropped and you moved your hand but both were fully independent events unrelated to each other, that's non-causal.
