Embrace Math, Exclude Myth

When the Trump’s campaign team should stop playing the political game by defending their boss’s false claim of fraudulent electoral voting in states where he is trailing his opponent and start admitting that more than half of the electorate had voted to fire the Commander in Cheat or Pinocchio-in-Chief.
As more mail-in ballots in the key battleground states confirm the trend that Biden is outperforming Trump, it’s politically childish or selfish for Trump’s allies and his campaign team to give him the false hope that he’d still win the election via frivolous lawsuits, when they’d tell him off “to embrace math, exclude myth.”

Grey Creativity

When creativity doesn’t fade with age, just because research shows that most people are fearful of breaking rules or challenging the authority in school and in the workplace, compared to when they were playful, uninhibited kindergartners.
Looking at the thousands of folks above fifty, who are working as advisers or consultants for successful start-ups and government agencies worldwide, this proves that grey creativity isn’t a flash in the pan.

Trump is the new Pinocchio.

When Donald J. Trump is now the world’s poster boy for lying or dishonesty, who has notoriously clinched another first as a one-term president, by unofficially dethroning Pinocchio as the Liar-in-Chief.
That “Trump is the new Pinocchio.” is numerically equivalent to “Trump = Pinocchio 2.0.”

Inflation

When even with more money today, you can only afford to buy fewer goods and services than in the past—your future buying power is reduced as basic necessities like food, water, and gas get dearer each time.
Inflation explains why the price of a math book in 1960 was 30 cents, but the same type of book today costs 30 dollars, or why a ten dollars’ worth of cookies today only cost 30 cents half a century ago.

Singapore Math Variants

Math titles plagued with brain-unfriendly questions to bedevil or challenge those who find that school textbooks in Singapore ill-prepare them to solve nonroutine or tricky questions—kiasu parents and tutors want to expose their children and students to fiendish or deadlier word problems to protect themselves against olympiad math questions, which have infected school exam papers in recent years.
Publishers are maniacally looking for Singapore math variants writers to meet the mathematical needs and wants of kiasu parents, who want their kids to have an unfair competitive edge over their peers.

Trumpgifting

Wrapping an empty box to be given as a Christmas gift, because it is not illegal to offer such a fake present to someone else other than your family members, relatives, or close friends.
