Noah Smith recently had a great article regarding health care and education cost in the US: https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/why-do-education-health-care-and?publication_id=35345&post_id=106662161&isFreemail=false.

Also a small nit, the chart of "8. Attitudes about Racism in America Over Time" has very low resolution.

Cool charts Deb! I particularly like #10... its so hard to see the long view.

And as we look to the future of everything we do we tend to overestimate the short term impact and under estimate the long term one...

Great read. I also love this chart that demonstrates how we spend our time as we age. https://ourworldindata.org/time-with-others-lifetime
