Maybe there should be a skill testing question that you need to get right for your vote to actually count, kind of like when you win a contest.

Wow, I thought the very common inability to understand probability was a huge problem, but this is even more basic.

It’s such a fundamental misunderstanding of how business works. Even if that was how tariffs work, the company is not just going to eat that loss. They’re going to raise prices to make up the difference.

"We won with the poorly educated I love the poorly educated!" - Donald Trump

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge. -Isaac Asimov

"People genuinely thought a third of a pound was less than a quarter pound. Because 3 was less than 4." Businesses underestimate the stupidity of the public at their own peril.

This is what Fox tells them. It is lunacy, but they do not want to think for themselves and will willingly believe any outlandish "fack!" that Fox tells them. Uncritical acceptance of *easily* debunked lies from a single source, night after night, has brainwashed nearly 1/3 of the nation.

He's going to be real unhappy when he has to pay $130.I think that this is another example of bullshitting culture.Some dude is sure he understands tariffs, it's just common sense. He explains, everyone else says Sounds Good! And none of them will ever listen to anything that implies they're wrong.

This is misinformation "boofing" at a greater scale than Brett Kavanaugh. So much utter BS from the WH on tariffs and people take it in through every orifice. With the literacy and numeracy rates in the US, a sizable percentage of the population can't even read about how tariffs work. 😒🤨
