Remember when oil futures went negative? I wonder what kind of clickbait they can use:
"US oil prices have surged more than <infinity>% from a record low in April 2020 due to the pandemic".
- yissp 5y agoWow, more than infinity!
- seanp2k2 5y agoOPEC hates this one simple trick!
- johnnyb9 5y agoCOVID cases are up 600% from 3 months ago!
- chris_j 5y agoBeing pedantic, wouldn't oil prices have risen by <some negative number> percent since that record low?
- BobbyJo 5y ago"Oil prices are up less than negative 15%!" would be a very confusing thing to parse.
- zinekeller 5y agoI mean, both are correct though (this is an inherent problem between statistics and (natural) languages - both are correct depending on context).
