That’s not the point–because the y-axis doesn’t start at zero, the changes in wages look more drastic than they actually are.

How would that chart look if the y-axis started at 0?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_is_thicker_than_water

Two modern commentators, author Albert Jack and Messianic Rabbi Richard Pustelniak, claim that the original meaning of the expression was that the ties between people who have made a blood covenant (or have shed blood together in battle) were stronger than ties formed by “the water of the womb”, thus “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”. Neither of the authors cite any sources to support their claim.
