Thanked. (Rant incoming about people in general and not you.)

It kills me that people in general can't honestly figure out that number. It's disingenuous and delusional - what is so hard about it other than to just make yourself feel better about a situation with a scenario that isn't even real?!

How the heck can people rationally discuss/do work/calculate anything in their daily lives if you can't even get something like that right? It's brutal working with bankers, accountants and engineers who claim it's a 15 minute drive in from Airdrie (for example). You've just shown me your incompetence doing that math/reality check, how the heck am I going to trust you for something a little more complex for real work? FFS.


I need to hop into the GMG thread.
