There were other graphs about this today, but this one reminded me of Factorio. I'm not saying lawyers in government are all bad, but, there are probably some downsides.

What's going on with our politics and/or legal profession such that the US is such an outlier for # of legislators with law backgrounds? We have nearly a 2x higher rate of lawyers than the next country in Sen's graph
I actually stared at that graph for a while thinking “where’s the us? Is this just a study of other countries??” Before noticing we’re way out at the edge.
