These 30 charts will destroy your faith in humanity

Earlier this week, Rob Wile of Business Insider posted his graph-heavy opus: "31 Charts That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity."

Naturally, we here at Wonkblog were all eager to see the results. But we'd quibble a bit with Wile's interpretations of the data. His charts all struck us as horrible news. So we're re-analyzing them here with the proper, gloom-heavy spin:

15) Annoying babies are everywhere:

16) If these trends continue indefinitely, we'll soon be spending 100 percent of GDP on malaria research:

27) More and more people are encountering the hell of modern air travel:

28) This chart doesn't include fatalities from flying cars because — oh right — those still don't exist:

Don't believe the optimists. Everything is terrible.
