New maaaaaath

Doubling down and defending bad/wrong math is wild. All because they don't want to risk contradicting a man described by his own professor as "... the dumbest goddam student I ever had."

Aren't Republicans the ones who were screaming that Democrats would end up telling people 2+2=6? It's always a self report with them...

Trump talking about this from the oval office was even better. He flat out says it doesn't matter what numbers he's reporting he just needs to go on tv and say numbers so it sounds like he's saying something. Numbers like nobody has ever seen. 60, 70, 80% it doesn't matter.

Don't ever forget that most folks out there are barely hanging on there from an intellectual perspective. Third grade functional literacy (not enough to deeply comprehend what they read... but enough to read the words they see)... just enough math skills to know they have enough money in their bank account to swipe and buy some fast food... you know, the bare minimums to not die.

Remember this whenever you interact with someone new and you'll have a lot more empathy for strangers.

This guy literally sounds like a character out of the simpsons. Like…who falls for this shit?

After I watched the video Tom Lehrer's song  started playing in my head.

Something like half the country reads at a sixth grade level - are we surprised?

Does RFK understand “it’s giving 1984”?

My bet is … as well as we understand $10 is a 600% reduction of $600

Trump is the guy who thinks a 1/4-pounder with cheese is bigger than the 1/3-pounder, because 4 is bigger than 3.
