Austria, Ireland, Denmark, and Finland are all DAC members and aren’t included in the graph. The graph is unequivocally misleading, which is my original point.
The article itself does have a more comprehensive table, but it uses outdated figures from several years ago. The title of the article is “List of development aid sovereign state donors” and yet it excludes major ODA donors such as Saudi Arabia, not only from the DAC list but also from the second list.
I don’t understand why people keep defending this when I outlined like 10 separate errors already. Are you even reading my comments or am I responding to bots?
Thanks for the passionate criticism, it’s needed.
Thanks. At first, I just happened to notice that the graph didn’t match up with the table below. And then when I pulled up the source I realized there were many more errors.
And it’s terribly important to share this type of stuff. Most people doomscrolling want the short adrenaline hit which corresponds with preexisting beliefs.
And that’s cool.
But for me it’s important that people don’t take things at face value and actually look at sources.
So I figured I’d not only important to upvote, but also personally thank people for doing that stuff, as I saw what happened to Reddit and people got flushed away with underbelly driven doom peddlers.
So thanks again!
