@RubyDoobieDoo24@FeelTheRoarr@krassenstein Would you fly on a plane designed using Trump's math? Assuming you believe in modern medicine, would you take a dose measured using Trump math?
60 to 0 would be
100% loss of the gains
100% loss of investment.
10 initial investment =
100%. Every 10 is a 100%
50 total gains = 500%
40 total gains = 400%
———————————
50 to 40 is a
100% loss of possible gain
from initial investment perspective
Or 16.67% loss from the total amount perspective
OMFG!
RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."
No, you imbecile. That’s a 98.33% drop. No math besides make-believe math makes it 600%.
@CNNSOTU@DanaBashCNN Why don't you ask him how he can represent the office of the president when he's Trump's former attorney? Giant conflict of interest but we know you just want $$$. The world will suffer more because the media won't do it's job.
Acting AG Todd Blanche on whether he plans to vacate the convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers involved in the January 6th attack: "We're not ruling anything out right now. I mean, there's a lot of factors that go into a decision like that, including the fact that the president commuted their sentences."
@RubyDoobieDoo24@krassenstein Are you defending Trump's elementary mistake for your ego's sake? He's the damn president and can't speak or do math right. Stop making excuses for a grown man you've never met. Leave the cult. Math is math, that's how rockets reach the moon, no debate about it. Fools.
It’s possible they are looking at it differently.
If a med was $10 then went up to $600 it would be a 6000% inc.
That same med changed from
$600 to $300 is a 3000% drop.
50% down from the new $600 price.
And that’s the point. He may be starting from an original price that may have doubled in price many many times.
We know numbers confuse you.
@0xDaud@unusual_whales Pathetically blaming Biden. Didn't Trump run on no new wars and lower prices? I guess those things don't matter to you more than blaming a former president for Trump's ineptitude...do you also calculate percentages using Trump-math? Keep that head in the sand please.
The U.S. has burned through so many munitions in Iran that some administration officials increasingly assess that America couldn’t fully execute contingency plans to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion if it occurred in the near term, per WSJ
@RandomUzza@realdannysafa@unusual_whales All they "secured" was 1% of global oil exports and a laundry list of years long infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, gas prices soar. The US needs more than 1% global output; Hormuz sees 20% of global oil exports. Then there is very real fertilizer and petrochemical shortage.
@Ionicsurfactant@BickerinBrattle and to even have a chance at being effective, that buffer must reach into the mountains, inland.
Precisely why a ground invasion is unwise.
@BickerinBrattle George it really doesn't work like that anymore. These ships cannot sustain low level air and sea drone attacks over periods of days without a ground invasion to provide a buffer.
the current USN cost $900 billion or so - with training and operational costs tripling that? and you think the Iran navy and some mines are any potential opposition. again - if USN is willing to pay the toll or rather if Trump allows them - war over in about 8 hours.
@unusual_whales "Honey, I love you, but I have to hurt you for the greater good," or some such abuser rationale. Bro's creating ai off vibes and flailing atm...Sam ain't the one to bring us AGI.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees he stands by his choice to permit the Pentagon to use the company’s tools for classified projects, while acknowledging he feels “terrible for subjecting” his staff to the fallout from the decision, according to the Wall Street Journal.
