          Looks like Malaysia drops from about 3.2 to 1.5 around 1997 (approximate loss of $1.70p/h, or >½). And that Thailand drops from about 2.6 to 1.8 around 2015 (approximate loss of $0.80p/h, or roughly >⅓). Are Frippa and I reading this wrong?

          Edit: Q to @whoami@lemmygrad.ml, not Frippa.

            ahhhhh I’m just dumb. Yes Malaysia had a massive drop in the 90’s. Thailand had a drop around 2015

              Not at all, it’s not the clearest graph. It’s not accessible. Graphics departments need to realise that different colours need to be distinctly different, or add arrows like they did here with India and the Philippines.
