Really effective/clever viz to not clip the subplots (obv Fed, but also Ed/Health)
2 questions: Is the color denoting + vs - change? Should "Public" be orange?
What sector classifications are these? Ed/Health is an odd combo to me, is Fed a subsector of "public"?

I would go duckdb with either duckplyr or just the regular dbplyr interface.
Consider defining the schema and passing that to duckdb during reading it. Additionally, read it with duckdb and a defined schema, then output to parquet. Then re-use duckdb on the parquet file.

You joke, but that year Dave Freudenthal, a democrat, won the gubernatorial election in WY by 40 points. Now he was a "Wyoming Democrat" which meant he was basically a republican.
I think we are a long way from anyone left of Cynthia Lummis being elected to statewide office in WY.
