You didn't learn compound interest in school?

    I did.

    (i actually took AP Stats and learned a good deal more than that)

    But many, many do not.

    And it is of vital importance that that anyone in this ... final stage capitalist / technofeudal dystopia understand it well.

    The US education system at least has fallen off a goddamned cliff, average kid is now 3 years behind grade level in literacy, I think its similar with numeracy.

    Shits gettin' real bad, really fast... if you have kids, you need to make sure they understand compound interest.
