pal <- colorNumeric(palette = "GnBu", domain = la_internet$estimate)
la_internet %>% st_transform(crs = "+init=epsg:4326") %>%
leaflet() %>% addFullscreenControl("bottomleft", pseudoFullscreen = TRUE) %>%
addProviderTiles(provider = "CartoDB.Positron") %>%
addPolygons(popup = ~ str_extract(estimate, "^([^,]*)"),

fillOpacity = 0.7,
color = ~ pal(estimate)) %>%
addLegend("bottomright",
pal = pal,
