Wow, that's amazing to watch. You can really feel it.
You know, normally I have to admit I'd mock someone saying a graphic made them "feel it" but I have to say you're right. The last few frames when the circles are just getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
It really does evoke an emotional response. Whoever had the idea for this graphic deserves a metal.
As a resident of Michigan, I can't help but note the near-constant throbbing red blot that is Detroit. If anything, I'm surprised it didn't look worse than that.
And look at the border crossing cities of El Paso and McAllen. Those two and Baton Rouge are the only cities that are creating jobs in the last frame.
