69.9%

[Winchester]

In the interests of being nice, 69.9% will no longer be considered most. We are moving the halway marker to 75%, thus placing 69.9% well below "most" and into "less than half."


Also, reducing the profits of companies by government involvement will no longer cause companies to raise the price of their product because the Democrats have actually begun crapping money.

i invented percentages.

Wow... this is an interesting turn of events. I wonder how that will effect the grading scale.

[MIKolbe]

depends if your parents voted for Obama or not.....

[homeschoolmom]

Now, just for clarification... can 69.9% be considered "some" or "many"?

Depends on the circumstances. Only if Obama is ok with it.

My music professor grades on a scale where 75 is D and anything below 70 is failure. Kinda smells of elderberries sometimes.

Yeah, nursing school was like that, too. You had to have a 75 to pass your exams. Anything less was failure.

Profits are overrated. They just keep people employed.

Rather than fire 100, they should just shut the company down. Free enterprise is overrated as well.

You're thinking too small. The government should take over the company, inflate it to ten or maybe a hundred times its original size with taxpayer money, and outlaw competitive firms.

Yeah but then they would have to write legislation forcing you to buy the product, and of course it would have to be redesigned to meet the governments criteria, what government would attempt to be so controlling, unless of course they governed sheeple.
