RFK jr. said in a hearing that "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."
I am not great at percentages, but even I can tell that that is wrong, and besides, we don't get to fudge to make percentages be what we want.
Chris Kluwe on Bluesky pointed out that one needs math to play Path of Exile. I looked to see what sort of game it is. It is the sort of game that looks so tedious to me that I only made it 26 seconds into the trailer. I still play Duolingo (which is clearly a game) but I can't think of any other computer/phone game I'd care to play besides maybe Tetris for a few minutes. I did wordle for several months when it started. A friend showed me connections, but I'm not going to take up anything like that either.

I'm not good at math but that sounds off.

If you still have to pay for it, it's not even 100% off.
