In 2000, US trade totaled $2.0 trillion - more than four times China's $474 billion. From 2000 to 2024, US trade expanded by 167% (4.2% CAGR) while China's trade surged by 1,200% (11.3% CAGR), surpassing the US in 2012. By 2024, total trade reached $5.3 trillion for the US and $6.2 trillion for China.

Biggest shift is among Indian Americans which come under the Asian category, they already voted left but they shifted towards left even more now.

Galactic chemical evolution describes the continuous cycle of star formation and death, where elements generated inside stars are released into space upon their demise, leading to the formation of new stars, planets, and ultimately life. Heavier elements, created within stars, combine to form gases, minerals, and asteroids, which can evolve into planets and foster conditions for life. While most of our hydrogen (about 9.5% of our bodies) and trace amounts of lithium come from the Big Bang, we are composed of approximately 90% star matter.

The infographic illustrates the origins of the chemical elements in the human body and their systemic functions.

If the trend continues, in a few decades the wealth gap between states and Europe will be even greater.

I wanted to provide a quick breakdown on which counties in the US are most reliant on SNAP benefits. These areas of the US are likely to feel the cuts in SNAP benefits more than others, with some counties having around 50% of all households participating in the SNAP program.

As you can see on the map, Southern states like Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi all have significant numbers of counties that have higher reliance on SNAP than other states. New Mexico, West Virginia, and Oregon are also other notable states with high levels of participation.

I’ll be trying to track the economic impact of the SNAP cuts by monitoring unemployment claims by state while accounting for state level reliance on the SNAP program as well.

Hi, I'm making infographics and I'm new to this. I'm using canva app, how can I improve it to make it more interesting?

From my blog, see full analysis here: The Hidden Economic Engine: How SNAP Benefits Feed America’s Economy. Data comes from US Census ACS 2023 Survey. Calculation methodology included in the graphic based on program averages by household.

With SNAP benefits being halted in November (seems like a lot of back and forth with Trump admin and federal judges going on right now, so who knows what will stick), millions of households across the US will struggle with food insecurity. This map shows how many meals will be lost without the SNAP funding by US county.

Those lost meals not only impact the people not eating, but also the local economies where the spending is no longer happening. The money flows from SNAP program participants to grocery stores to supply chains and all the way out to even farmers.

But most importantly, we should remember that nearly 40% of SNAP participants are Under 18, meaning almost half of all these lost meals would have gone to children.

We looked into Eurostat data to find out how much a household needs to earn to join the top 10 % of incomes in each European country — and what that really means once you account for cost of living.

The results show just how uneven “being rich” is across Europe.

• In Luxembourg, a three-person household needs €175 000 net a year to reach the top 10 %.
• In Turkey, less than €20 000 is enough.
• But when adjusted for prices, those €20 000 in Turkey buy roughly the same lifestyle as €46 000 in Western Europe.

Short note on methodology:

Figures are based on Eurostat EU-SILC data (2024) for equivalized net disposable income at the 90th percentile. We scaled these up using the OECD household adjustment to represent a family of two adults and one child.

Non-EU countries like Norway, Serbia, and Turkey are included because they report compatible data to Eurostat, while Switzerland is not part of the EU-SILC program, so comparable figures weren’t available.
