Proportion

What is wrong with this picture?

What's wrong is that it is nearly unrecognizable. It is unrecognizable because it is proportional. Proportional in respect to the number of toy exports, on a global basis, each year.


Compare it to this, the number of toy imports, on a global basis, each year:



I guess Santa Claus isn't too kind to the Chinese kids producing all those toys?

Too bad, considering this proportional map of the number of children on earth.


Judging from these maps, I'd offer a guess that the American kids are *really* well behaved and all the other kids are evil. At least in Santa context anyway.

Here's a map of proportional tourism profits on a global basis:


Maybe if all the tourists brought more toys for the kids we'd have less conflict.

And based on this map (a map showing the proportional export of computers on a global basis), I certainly hope our economy is not dependent on anything like computers:
