Headlines = Noisy. Gap Minder data = beautiful. Here's a gif I just made of Life Expectancy and Income (each dot is a county) since 1900 using Gap Minder. So pretty. RIP Hans Rosling. https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$state$time$value=2018&delay:100;;&chart-type=bubbles …pic.twitter.com/4zSNNjibGf

Never mind the fact that if the rate is steadily declining at a certain pace the # of deaths per 100k will gradually level out just like this... smaller multiplicand

Seems like it's only missing an annotation about addiction/opiates to properly align with the headline.
