Cut and Paste

From Harper’s Index:

Portion of U.S. employees who know what is expected of them at work: 1/2

Percentage of U.S. alcohol consumption for which one fifth of the population is responsible: 53
Of injuries requiring medical attention for which one fifth of the population is responsible: 78

Percentage of pet owners who, given the choice between saving the life of one person or one dog, would choose the dog: 21
Who, given the choice between saving the lives of one hundred people or one dog, would choose the dog: 18

Half of us don’t know what we’re supposed to be doing at our jobs; 20% of us drink 53% of the alcohol; 20% of us use up 78% of medical care for injuries; and pet owners, we hope, get drunk while being polled.
