I could sure use $1.53, even if it is "crumbs." | |||

As discussed yesterday in the Bloomberg thread:
Leftist math: Thursday on MSNBC's "The Eleventh Hour" with Brian Williams, New York Times Editorial Board Member Mara Gay and the host accepted without question a tweet that (jokingly) said that Michael Bloomberg could have given every American one million dollars with the five hundred million dollars he spent on his short-lived presidential campaign. "When I read it tonight on social media, it kind of all became clear," Williams said. The tweet read: "Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. Population, 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and have had lunch money left over." "It’s an incredible way of putting it," Williams said. "It’s an incredible way of putting it," Gay said. "It’s true. It’s disturbing." In reality, $500 million divided by 327 million Americans is about $1.53 per person. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

We heard: https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...480052764#2480052764 The Wall Street Journal, however, is now stating that his campaign actually cost $620M, so that would have been about $1.90 for each of us.  https://www.wsj.com/articles/m...j&mod=&mod=djemITP_h ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

I would pay $1.90 to make him go away. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

So has MSNBHeeHaw (credit: Larry Elder) and/or Brian Williams and/or Mara Gay had the nut sack to publicly correct their obvious math error? Or are they too chicken to appear like the dumbasses and weak-spined humanoids they really are? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

As soon as they said it, people started correcting them (and making fun of them) on social media. Someone working on the show got out a calculator and Williams and the NYT guest acknowledged their boo-boo after the next commercial break, joking about how neither of them had been good in math in high school. They still aren't very good with math or common sense if you ask me. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

It says alot that a calculator was needed. Really $500 million and 327 Million people. The millions are present in both nominator and denominator and cancel themselves out. Anyone with a grade school education should be able to at least estimate the answer at just over one dollar. Calgary Shooting Centre | |||
