Chevy 15-seaters from 2012+ you can turn the status screen on the dash and display numerical rpms. They are a bit slow to update but it’s kinda cool.
No. Most people round to the nearest whole number and often just pick a direction to round.
Since no one does math in their head anymore the total is always more than they expected. No calculators on shopping carts anymore either.
Ha! That’s what they want.
Now add the sales tax. And don’t forget about bag fees and to tip Tippy.
People suck at math and this is how they confuse people into not caring what the actual price becomes when they have to add multiple items together.
What’s 19.99 + 21.75 + 4.99 + 3.99 + 1.99? Can the common person do that math in their head while grocery shopping? What about adding the tax to that total? Not a chance.
Most people probably don’t even know what the sales tax is in their own state.
Recycling was the big lie the corporations forced down everyone’s throat. They shifted the blame from those who produce plastic products to those who consume them. They slowly replaced all packaging materials with plastic in the name of convenience and saving money and weight.
Later, when recycling was deemed not be effective enough and the corporations needing a new scapegoat, They rebranded and green washed everything. Now every corporation has a mission statement than includes their commitment to environmental responsibility. While in the background they’re selling their carbon credits and laughing at gullible people who believe the current bullshit they pass off as environmentalism.
