"Like so much else, the basic woke argument against math is that it is inherently racist and needs to be made antiracist."

But, but why is the 9 higher then the 8.?? I mean, it's obvious that the 8 is MUCH better built then the 9.. And what the crooked 3.? Surely you can have some sympathy for the poor little 3...

Math, it's just SO racist.!!

During an IRS audit of my taxes, which I beat, I was going over a form with IRS clerk. I showed her that the box said put the lesser of $5000 and the value in Box 14 (e.g.). Box 14 was $30,000. She got confused. I said “$5,000 is less than $30,000, right?”.

She said she was not sure and needed to check with her supervisor.

I remember many long winter afternoons & nights when Mother would pull out the 2 quart jars of Indian Head pennies she had & we would play poker...

We learned how to count & how to handle small sums of money.

IF YOUR KID ha a hard time with basic mat-—teach them how to play cribbage...

Counting is necessary in every hand played, and it will sharpen their skills.

You’re just doing 8 wrong. If you write 8 horizontally it becomes bigger than any number. :)
