      It doesn’t matter. I was taught all that, it meant nothing at the time. I was quizzed on a 1040-ez, which doesn’t exist anymore. Also about half the graduates could understand it in the first place, reading comprehension and mathematical literacy are shockingly low.

      Because it isn’t relevant. It is lecturing people on the statistics of how dangerous driving it is and then sticking their place of employment in an area where car is the only way to get to it. Just because you know how badly you are screwed doesn’t make you unscrewed. Also the tone implies victim blaming which fuck that noise.
