Original Note:
The graph shown is a truncated graph which has a y axis that does not start at 0 and makes changes look larger than they are. Here, the actual decline is just about 6%. Research has shown that truncating graphs "persistently misleads viewers." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2211368120300978
