minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•1 month agoTrump: ok so stocks went down 50% because of me, but look since then it’s up 80% !!! Maga crowd: Yess, wooow!!!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink23•1 month agoThere are absolutely lots of people that don’t understand that down 50% and up 80% means you just lost 10%.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•1 month agoFor anyone who’s like me (where math and I are not friends), if you start with $1 and drop 50%, that’s 50¢ Go up 80% from 50¢ and you’re at 90¢ Your original $1 is now worth 90¢.
