Anything that is commonly taught using a mnemonic. I have to unteach all that before they can make sense of it. FOIL, PEMDAS, SOCAHTOA, all of that shit.

know how money works, inflation works, or, historically, how much money people make. It's really rather laughable.
This is the problem with people. The entire sum of human knowledge is at their fingertips, and they'd rather just... remain ignorant.
Educate yourself.🧵

day, or that people actually MADE $1000 as a week's wage back in the day. The median weekly income in the US **TODAY** is only $1139. Actually learn how numbers work. Learn how inflation works. Learn how MONEY works.

ten pair of boots is richer than a person who can afford one. It's quite the opposite in fact. Stop sucking capitalism's dick. Open your eyes.

them out of your ass, because $1000 in the early 1800s was enough to buy property, start up a business, and live comfortably for SEVERAL YEARS.
