I don't see how that follows, please, show your work.
- wsetchell 4y agoAverage life expectancy is down. Life expectancy for rich people is up, so non-rich life expectancy is dropping faster than the average.
- recuter 4y agoCool. I repeat my previous statement.
- random314 4y agoIt's basic math at this point!
- recuter 4y agoMos def. (⌐■_■) (Still gotta show your work tho)
- random314 4y agoIf you can't do 5th grade math, why are you in this forum? This isn't a 5th grade class and you should pretend play supervisor elsewhere.
- recuter 4y agoYour memories of the 5th grade are likely much more recent than mine. As I recall it, showing your work was occasionally necessary for my own edification especially when my final answer was a result of hasty guesswork predicated on faulty assumptions. Mr Munger making it to a ripe old age and being a wealthy man to boot could literally be shaving years off your life expectancy. But I sense that if you write out all your thinking, step by step, you might find a flaw in that line of reasoning. Even though it is.. simple mathematics. ;)
