  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I'm not. Just disagreeing with their take. Calm down.

Calm down? We're gunna circle back around to that.

But in what world is half of a percent of 500m a day equal to 38 billion? So not only are you incorrect in your turn of phrases, but you also don't understand math.

And I was calm, just pointing out that the phrase you used was incorrect. You so casually dropping that phrase is pretty fucking misogynistic, it really reads like a guy talking down to a woman. You should really work on that about yourself.

A government shutdown costs are an estimated 500 millions a day.

If we only shave of half of the daily GDP due to a general strike, we are talking about 38 billion.

You misread. Those numbers are not connected. Daily gdp of the United States is roughly 77 billion. Half of that is 38 billion.
