Welche Produkte in 🇩🇪 mit 19% besteuert werden:

- Hafermilch
- Windeln
- Sojaschnitzel

Und Welche mit 7%:

- Kuhmilch
- Fleisch
- Froschschenkel

Und Welche überhaupt nicht:

- Flugkerosin
- Schiffsdiesel
- Int. Flugtickets

Unser Steuersystem ist völlig absurd und gehört reformiert!

Kolumne: In der Europäischen Union gibt es offenbar massive Bestrebungen bestimmter Staaten und Industrieverbände, die gigantischen Subventionen für das schädlichste Geschäftsmodell der Menschheitsgeschichte - CO2 - fortzuschreiben.Das wäre auch ökonomisch extrem schädlich.

Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages).

The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate and below-average life expectancy.

More www.oecd.org/en/publicati... 🧪
Figure 1.7 illustrates the extent to which countries that spend more on health have better health outcomes. There is a clear positive association between health spending per capita and life expectancy at birth (Figure 1.7). Among the 38 OECD countries, 18 spend more and have higher life expectancy than the OECD average (top right quadrant). A further 11 countries spend less and have lower life expectancy than the OECD average (bottom left quadrant). Of particular interest are countries that deviate from this basic relationship. Eight countries spend less than the OECD average but achieve higher life expectancy overall (top left quadrant). This may indicate relatively good value for money of health systems, notwithstanding the fact that many other factors also have an impact on health outcomes. These eight countries are Korea, Spain, Italy, Israel, Portugal, Chile, Costa Rica and Slovenia. The only country in the bottom right quadrant is the United States, with much higher spending than all other OECD countries but lower life expectancy than the OECD average.

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN.

It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package.

Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

This is how you can define a custom style to reuse it across several #tidyplots 🤩

#rstats #dataviz #phd
library(tidyplots) my_style <- function(x) { x |> adjust_colors(colors_discrete_apple) |> adjust_font(family = "mono", face = "bold") |> remove_x_axis_ticks() |> remove_y_axis_ticks() } energy_week |> tidyplot(date, power, color = energy_source) |> add_areastack_relative() |> my_style()

Day 22 of the #30DayChartChallenge - Stars 🌟

Daily hours of sunlight ☀️ for places at different latitudes

Made with #rstats {ggHoriPlot} for the horizon plot and {cowplot} to assemble the pieces
The horizon plot shows the total hours of sunlight per day for several locations. Sunlight per day varies greatly closer to the poles, where days can have 0 hours to 24 hours of sunlight. Near the equator, the days have around 12 hours of sunlight all year. The brighter areas have more daily sunlight and the darker areas have less.

{tidyplots}, built on ggplot2, offers a new 'intuitive syntax to add, remove, and adjust plot components...' and has gained a lot of attention. 👀 github.com/jbengler/tid...

We'll discuss the syntactical departure Wednesday #ggplot2 at 3pm Eastern with @jbengler.de. 🤩

The quoted article could be right about electric bikes encouraging people to go further and use more calories. But a recent study found people on e-bikes don’t exercise hard enough to increase fitness 🧪
