Seeing the raw numbers is impactful and I would also like to see these figures as percentages of the whole since they're comparing different times with different populations.

I was gonna say. The US population was 207M when I was born. It's now 335M. I would expect percentages to be far more telling.

No I'm not. I tried sending you a private message but it told me I had to download something

You sent me a private message earlier. I would like to talk to you more however I'm not comfortable showing my face to anyone.
