I know that the forum will appreciate this crime against cartography from The New Republic:

Are they even trying? Who would look at that map and think that it conveys any useful information?


Looks like the intern who made the map plotted the data including the dollar sign in front: at that point the map software interprets the number as a string instead of a number. Then the program keeps changing colour to resolve the problem of there being more labels than available colours in the swatch.

I redefined the data and improved the map if anyone cares.

That link doesn't work.
