40 Maps That Will Help You Make Sense of the World
From the post:
If you’re a visual learner like myself, then you know maps, charts and infographics can really help bring data and information to life. Maps can make a point resonate with readers and this collection aims to do just that.
Hopefully some of these maps will surprise you and you’ll learn something new. A few are important to know, some interpret and display data in a beautiful or creative way, and a few may even make you chuckle or shake your head.
If you enjoy this collection of maps, the Sifter highly recommends the r/MapPorn sub reddit. You should also check out ChartsBin.com. There were also fantastic posts on Business Insider and Bored Panda earlier this year that are worth checking out. Enjoy!

Let’s see, six year term at $174,000 per year = $1,044,000. And you are going to spend more than 10X that amount to get the job? Plus that amount to retain it for another six years?
Or some public spirited person is going to give you > $10.5 million with no strings attached.
