It's not just you. Uncertainty is through the roof.
The world is a lot right now.

This is Not-Ship: a newsletter using data and visuals to navigate our turbulent world.
Everything is A LOT lately. It's all so uncertain. And the way I try to make sense of things is with data. So, that's what Not-Ship is all about. Come chart the chaos with me.

Maybe we can get a critical mass of data viz people to agree to put in real effort to make BlueSky social work.

It's crazy that the US has the nearly the same rate of road traffic deaths per 100,000 people as India, Brazil and China. It does worse than Indonesia and Mexico. Wow!

An analysis of major US retailers found most items were discounted more often than sold at the 'regular' price.
In other words, the 'discount' is the real price, and the 'regular' price is just there to make you feel good about paying it. 🫣

today instead of buying barely discounted crap, get a paid subscription to an independent media outlet! a little $ goes a long way towards supporting a free press. 🗞️
