What’s the big deal? $327, $327 million… Who notices such a minor difference? /s

No, I am very bad at math, but even I can see how that is wrong.
it is an incredible way of putting it; I can’t credit it at all.
Now, if we were to divide Bloomberg’s entire $58.4 billion among the 327 million of us, we would all get $178K.
Jesus Christ, I’m an idiot and I know that doesn’t add up.
What alternate universe do I need to visit to have my $1.52 magically become $1,000,000?
I really can’t tell if you are joking or not. Well played.
(but someone is going to believe you)
So you don’t have to click through to the dumpster fire that is Twitter, here’s what the tweet said:
Math is math? No - it’s arithmetic!
Did anyone ever think that maybe they are only considering about 500 people to be “real” Americans?
“The quality of Democracy and the quality of Journalism are deeply intertwined.” - Bill Moyers
Well… it was fun while it lasted.
Somehow that GIF makes me think of Cartesian coordinates rather than arithmatic.
Maybe they were just counting people who supported Bloomberg.
thank you for this. I really wish posts would stop making going to twitter a requirement for information than can easily be conveyed without it
This is all just a simple typo. Mike Bloomberg spend $327 trillion on ads.
I dunno, I see Riemann here
ROFL
Also, where did he pull the word “lunch” from???
Tweet didn’t say anything about “lunch money”…
