      I did.

      (i actually took AP Stats and learned a good deal more than that)

      But many, many do not.

      And it is of vital importance that that anyone in this … final stage capitalist / technofeudal dystopia understand it well.

      The US education system at least has fallen off a goddamned cliff, average kid is now 3 years behind grade level in literacy, I think its similar with numeracy.

      Shits gettin’ real bad, really fast… if you have kids, you need to make sure they understand compound interest.
