You should go to both (give them the clicks and eyeballs they both deserve since they did great work). They both chose a line chart, but the whole point of these exercises is to try out new things to help you learn how to communicate better. I chose to use <code>geom_segment()<\/code> to make mini-column charts since that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>eliminates the giant rose-coloured rectangles that end up everywhere<\/li>\n<li>helps show the differences a bit better (IMO), and<\/li>\n<li>also helps highlight some of the states that have had more difficulties than others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/state_of_us_1.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4919\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rud.is\/b\/2017\/01\/18\/workout-wednesday-redux-2017-week-3\/state_of_us_1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/state_of_us_1.png?fit=1680%2C4128&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1680,4128\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"state_of_us_1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/state_of_us_1.png?fit=122%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/state_of_us_1.png?fit=417%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/state_of_us_1.png?resize=510%2C1253&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"1253\" style=\"max-width:100%\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4919\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click\/tap to &#8220;embiggen&#8221;.
