Amanda Chase?

I wonder what it would take to get this "person" to move out of state. I can contribute a few $s.

For the Twitter impaired:

There is an image of her Facebook post talking about raising $250,000 if only 250 people gave $100. Carrying guns, spreading Q-Anon nonsense, and hanging with white supremacists is not a measure of simple math skills.

Looked at 250 X 100 = 250,000 and shook its sad little head. I didn't even have to get out my old slide rule to figure that one out!

Geez.

Is this a result of teaching "new" math in school?

I had great fun in a mathematics class at the community college a few years ago answering math questions in less time than the kids could enter the numbers in their fancy calculators.

I took a chemistry class at community college before I went to Cal because I didn't take it in high school. I finished hour long tests in 30 minutes because I had a slide rule. Other people in the class were astounded.
