“Why are young people so bad at math?!”
But they’re proficient at putting on a rubber. They’ve been teaching them how do do that since the 4th grade. Isn’t it great how effective your taxes dollars have been spent?
Here are a few practical algebra problems ...
1. Little Johnny has an AK 47 with a 30 round clip. He usually misses 6 out of every 10 shots and he uses 13 rounds per drive-by shooting. How many drive-by shootings can Little Johnny attempt before he has to reload? 2. Jose has 2 ounces of cocaine. If he sells an 8 ball to Antonio for $320 and 2 grams to Juan for $85 per gram, what is the street value of the rest of his hold? 3. Rufus pimps 3 hos. If the price is $85 per trick, how many tricks per day must each ho turn to support Rufus's $800 per day crack habit? 4. Jerome wants to cut the pound of cocaine he bought for $40,000 to make 20% profit. How many ounces will he need? 5. Willie gets $200 for a stolen BMW, $150 for stealing a Corvette, and $100 for a 4x4. If he steals 1 BMW, 2 Corvettes and 3 4x4's, how many more Corvettes must he have to steal to have $900? 6. Raoul got 6 years for murder. He also got $10,000 for the hit. If his common-law wife spends $100 per month, how much money will be left when he gets out? Extra credit bonus: how much more time will he get for killing the ho that spent his money? 7. If an average can of spray paint covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 3 square feet, how many letters can be sprayed with 3 eight ounce cans of spray paint with 20% paint free? 8. Hector knocked up 3 girls in the gang. There are 27 girls in his gang. What is the exact percentage of girls Hector knocked up? 9. Bernie is a lookout for the gang. Bernie has a Boa Constrictor that eats 3 small rats per week at a cost of $5 per rat. If Bernie makes $700 a week as a lookout, how many weeks can he feed the Boa on one week's income? 10. Billy steals Joe's skateboard. As Billy skates away at 35 mph, Joe loads his 357 Magnum. If it takes Joe 20 seconds to load his magnum, how far away will Billy be when he gets whacked?
Once again a stupid person is worth more to them than a smart one, a smart one may not accept thier agenda if they are free thinkers unless they suffer from the same affliction, “mental illness”
Is a degree even necessary for most jobs in the economy?
I read recently that a plurality (or even majority) of Republicans think that colleges do more harm than good. Democrats thought the opposite of course. But leaving aside political indoctrination accusations, the honest observer has to ask if the costs of a university education really are a wise investment for students who outside of STEM fields who want to teach. Student loan debt is supposed to be a crisis.
Superfly SEALs.
it’ll be dope.
They’ll smoke dope.
Gotta have algebra, calculus, chemistry, physics, biology. Got to.
With these in your armamentarium, you can dissect and refute a specious argument from a lib.
You must be able to do this in real time.
These subjects in bare but true form must be a part of your operating system.
Grammar, logic, and rhetoric also, to make a bulletproof argument with whatever issue you tackle with a lib or snowflake or gimmedat.
You must be able to snip up their arguments instantly, because they are being programmed with false narratives by people who really do know what they are doing, and who are trying to enslave you.
Must have all these tools in your toolkit. Or be a slave.
That teacher is using a chair on the blackboard. That is punk rock.
Points for using the word “broker”.
It’s time to drop college.

Ditto here. Algebra was fun and very relaxing, a vacation.
You nailed it.
I went to a good HS in the N.E. and I chose shop courses and wanted to also take algebra because I had a knack for math. They wouldn’t let me. I had to take more basic math because I chose shop. Wouldn’t want some blue collar guy knowing that advanced stuff ya know.
Doesn’t it seem strange that the black race finds it very hard to learn algebra, the white race has some difficulty with it and the yellow race excels at it?
Strange, strange indeed! I wonder why? On the other hand, I think I know why.
It gives your mind some necessary exercise. But we should have a college track and a different track for those not going to college.
LOL that was hilarious.
