Maybe it's because I took economics as far back as high school, but even just from reading high school history books I knew what a Tariff was. How the FUCK did they not know that?

I am also willing to bet that they will eventually blame the democrats for breaking the system, as they always do.

There’s a fair portion of people 21+ that have difficulty playing blackjack because they can’t add to 21. Last night I was asked by a grown man what 9+1+3 is.

You’d be surprised how incompetent some people are.

I worked in customer service for 7 years. I am aware... so very aware...

To give you an idea, when I worked for Verizon mobile, it was a few times a week that I came across a client who did not know how to hang up their cellphone calls. No joke. It took such a while to get them off the hook it wasn't funny. And if you ask me why I wouldn't hang up on them, it was because Verizon had a strict no hang-up policy. You were not allowed to hang up on a client no matter what. It was grounds for immediate termination.

Maybe it was a HR call to test your patience with customers
