MATH LESSON

 I did have something else planned but this was too good to pass up. 


For starters you  divide that total by six so the average is 11.2%. I'd expect better from someone with a accounting degree who probably did not take a good look at that meme before it went out under her name. Maybe they don't teach averages in Accounting these days. 

There is nothing on ths list that's necessary except the condiments and unless you are feeding a football team those condiments should last you for awhile. I used to bake our own bread and some extra special bread sticks would stand in for buns. Once upon a time we made a great  zuchinni relish and mom's bread and butter pickles were to die for. I've never had ice cream at a BBQ. it melts too fast. And so on. I'd like to see that check out receipt for those purchases. Are we talking premim or the average stuff that most of us buy unless we know a really good butcher shop with decent prices even in these days. 

Of course this is probably aimed at the folks who thought a quarter pouder was bigger than a burger with a third of a pound of meat because the number four is larger than a three on the number line. The company that tried and failed should have drawn pictures of the graphs. Might not have worked anyway.

These people know that the "base" they're aiming at is not smart enough to know how the mathematics actually work. I'm positive anyone with a brain looking at this would have figured it out immediately. But it looked like something that would appeal to the base, create outrage, add to the "fuck Joe Biden" outcry. So out it went.
