Unfortunately your comparison still makes no sense, you are comparing the proportion of fuel coming from a location to the proportion of the population that benefits from a service that use the fuel in question.
Really not meaningful ๐
Had to read your sentence 4 times to understand what youre trying to say. Could have just said "no I don't think it's weird at all"
My point is not that it's not weird at all, it's that in addition to quoting completely false numbers, you put forward a comparison that makes absolutely no sense. The numbers compared are not "weird" or "not weird", they are absolutely not comparable.
Interesting, now I doubt that we just have super opposing political views, rather we have super different working brains ๐
Hope you will answer to this one too!
Let's say you have a garden. I take fruits and vegetables from your garden and add them to the dishes of some of my family members, maybe only to garnish the dishes of my 6 favorite kids. Meanwhile, most of your family members don't have any food at all. You start to complain, want me to stop taking fruits and vegetables for my well-fed family because the garden is yours, your family is hungry, it could somehow benefit from the garden and its fruits and vegetables. Then you hear this:
Would you stop or continue complaining?
