Scroll down the list for various correlations.

 

Huh? Where do I find those future bicycle repair statistics?

 
Follow the link I provided.  If anything, there's too much information
and detail.  In this case, there's nothing involving FUTURE bicycle
repair statistics.  There's only present and past statistics.  See:

The number of bicycle repairers in California
Detailed data title: BLS estimate of bicycle repairers in California
Source: Bureau of Larbor Statistics
Which points to:
"Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics"
<https://www.bls.gov/oes/tables.htm>
Which points to the California statistics at:
<https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_ca.htm>
Which shows the California "bicycle repairers" on line 49-3091 at:
<https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes493091.htm>
as 2,800 as of May 2023 from the US map.  To obtain the other years
employment, follow the links for those years and build a table.
 

You almost had me there. I think you didn't say what you meant to say,
but if I understand what you meant to say, I agree, I think...

 
No sympathy.  If I can navigate my way through the Burro of Laborious
Statistics, you can also do the same.  I assure you that statistical
research is surviveable.
 

The first requirement is to establish that the two events are related
in any way.

 
Nope.  The LAST requirement is to determine if the numbers line up to
produce some form of correlation, which they do.  Then, you figure out
how well they correlate (r=0.964).  However, even if they correlate
perfectly, you cannot claim causality.
 

Mark Rober's videos on building squirrel proof bird feeders, exploding
glitter bombs to discourage porch pirates, and various over-engineered
gadgets are intended for kids, but are equally interesting to adults:

He's one of the few adults that have the "knack" for getting kids
interested in engineering.

Every posting you demonstrate why your entire life has been  outside of the mainstream.

Why would I want my life to follow the mainstream herd?  If following
the mainstream leads to success, I will follow.  If following whatever
is considered fashionable, I don't follow it.  Again, why would I want
to follow whatever you consider to be the mainstream?

You have never done anything yourself but you absolutely love giving references and advice to other which you haven't the slightest idea which is true or not.

Nice comma splice.  I take it that you don't enjoy giving references
(commonly known as links and URL's.  Please don't complain about
someone not knowing whether something is true or not.  You track
record in RBT for distributing lies, distortions, fake news, and
debunked amazing facts is legendary.  Why do you ascribe to me
attributes that best describe your methods?  Do you believe that will
make you immune to be accused of the same deficiencies?  Are you
attempting to win the endlessly repetitious broken record award?

Incidentally, I noticed that when you started posting 40 articles per
day, participation by others in RBT decreased.  When that failed to
deflect attention in your direction, you disappeared for a few days
and then reappeared with only a few postings per day.  During the days
you were absent, participation increased dramatically.  Are you
bothered by people who want to discuss things about which you know
zilch?
