Obviously, but I'm asking what's the agenda here?

The point is what is this graph even trying to represent?

I'm sure there are multiple factors, but you already mentioned the obvious one. 1990 and 2016 are 26 years apart.. in other words a generation apart. Less babies today because there's less women in their child bearing years today due to the drop in births from the previous generation. Generations echo across time. In the same way that millennials in the US are the largest generation because they echo the baby boom.

Not to state the obvious, but Ukraine (in its modern form) didn't exist until 1991.

Quite frankly expressing the size of foreign economies in USD is just wrong. The most meaningful data point is PPP GDP, not nominal GDP in USD.

The entire developed world is basically following in their footsteps. Their just ahead of the curve in terms of demographic devastation.

Quite frankly; yes I do. A country like China which is incredibly connected with the rest of the world couldn't manipulate data to that large an extent. We know how large their imports and exports are because we are on the other end of those trades. That's been the main driver of their growth these last 30 years. It's potentially more possible for them to lie about domestic consumption, but it's not like China is a closed society. You can travel there and see with your own eyes the progress they have made. You can see the new skyscrapers everywhere, you can ride the new subways and HSR lines, you can fly over the massive factories. People constantly trying to make up reasons not to believe the data are really just scared of the reality which is that the US is no longer the sole power in this world and we are likely entering a new Cold War.

PS: This is part of why travel is so important. Actually going other places and experiencing foreign cultures makes it a lot harder for politicians to lie to you.

That's literally why no poll can ever be 0% or 100%.

Haven't they had 3 massive rain events recently? Interested to see how this changes after all that adds in.

It's like 10% of people which isn't far off from the limit of people just giving troll responses or not understanding the question.

I'm sure you could easily name dozens of things. Unclear why OP just arbitrarily chose these.

US companies haven't actually been repatriating those profits though. They leave them overseas to avoid taxes.

Just remember that where a company is listed doesn't necessarily correlate to where it does most of its business.

Its nothing that Maine did wrong, they just received the highest winds. The big "oopsie" is actually that quick second surge in Tennessee and North Carolina which was load shedding due to not having enough generation, not storm damage.
