When the US is toying with the idea of imposing exorbitant tariffs on foreign publishers, which would make it hard for them to ship their wallet-friendly, brain-unfriendly math titles to American homeschoolers, students, and teachers.
A number of hardcore Trumpublicans want their senators to push for an “America First” math bill to protect local authors from being outwitted by their foreign counterparts, whose titles cost a fraction of most dear inch-deep-mile-wide US math textbooks.

An artist’s lawbreaking pastime, whereby they irreverently paint math-related drawings, formulas, or symbols in forbidden areas or public squares without getting caught by the authorities—the artistic equivalent of a couple illicitly indulging in a quickie with zero public knowledge or suspicion.

The use of differentiation and integration symbols to hypothesize the infection and mortality rates of change in many parts of the developed world. For example, which of the following Covid-19 hypotheses are worth investigating further?
Wuhan: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🦇 + c
White House: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🇨🇳🧫🧪+ c
Singapore: d/dx (🦠₁₉) = 😷x + 💀y
US: d/dx (🤥₄₅ + 🦠₁₉) = 😷ˣ + 💀ʸ
Wuhan: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🦇 + c
White House: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🇨🇳🧫🧪+ c
Singapore: d/dx (🦠₁₉) = 😷x + 💀y
US: d/dx (🤥₄₅ + 🦠₁₉) = 😷ˣ + 💀ʸ
Corona calculus helps us to differentiate between facts and falsehoods about the coronavirus, while we integrate the latest effective preventive measures adopted by countries with low infections and deaths to control the pandemic crisis.
