Who remembers the 2008 financial crisis? Do you know what's careening toward us like an out of control freight train? A poly-crisis recession that will make 2008 look like a cake walk.

The university system as we know it will not survive the federal budget cuts, the predatory student loan system, and the forced teaching of false white nationalist christo fascist dogma.

Population is hardly the worst problem colleges have.

#30DayChartChallenge Día 18: ¡Tema El País! 📰 Hoy, una correlación madrileña con sustancia (y quizás algo de ironía 😉). #RelationshipsWeek

¿Qué relación hay entre lo que cuesta un piso y si tienes perro o niño? 🤔 Graficamos Esfuerzo Inmobiliario (años de renta para 75m²) vs Ratio Mascotas/Niño (<16) por distrito (2015-22).

¡Resulta que la correlación es positiva y fuerte (r≈0.75)! Donde más cuesta la vivienda, tiende a haber más mascotas por cada niño. ¿La cruda realidad del ladrillo cambiando el modelo familiar? ¿"No me llega pa pañales, pero sí pa pienso"? 🤷‍♂️🐶🐱📈💸

Gráfico facetado por distrito, con estilo inspirado en El País.
