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.
