This guy isn't wrong, although the entire post can be boiled down to "percent is not the same as percentage points"

Now riddle me this, what does it mean when something is "3x slower" or "5x cheaper"?

6% is not one percent more than 5%?

Yeah I get the math behind it all, thanks 🤦‍♂️

My point is in everyday conversation, if I say there is a 15% discount at this store and a 20% discount at that store, that’s a difference of 5%.

If I’m paying 5% on this card and 6% on that card, that’s a 1% difference. I know it’s technically wrong but it’s also just much easier.

Can someone break this down for me?

He’s just trying to confuse you into thinking he’s a mathematician so you are more inclined to purchase whatever he’s trying to sell. Ignore and move on.

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.

This is the very definition of privilege

Able to post something so absurdly wrong (Google PMs in the comments explaining that she transferred ladders when she switched jobs internally, hence pay change)

Able to become a product manager at Google and STILL not comprehend how misleading the race aggregation stat is “Black women make 58 cents to every $1 a white man makes!” not taking into account job choice and individual opportunity.

..all while the comments are filled with blind support
