Summary
Luigi Mangione, charged with the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, released his first public statement through a new website launched by his defense team.
He expressed gratitude for widespread support and acknowledged the letters he has received. The website provides case updates and a fundraiser, which has raised over $400,000.
Mangione has gained a following among those frustrated with the U.S. healthcare system. A poll found 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as acceptable.
His next court date is Feb. 21.
40℅ * 41% = 16.4%
You can do it quickly in your head by using 4*4=16 and then adding on the last .4%.
If you look carefully you may notice that 16.4 - 10 = 6.4 which is not zero, so our original poster was off by at least 64%.
Yay I can do math too!
That was my point. They were commending maths that was incorrect where an exact calculation is trivial, even for someone like me who is somewhat poor at mental arithmetic.
tbf, if im going through the trouble of using real stats math, i’m going to dig out some actually real statistics to base it off of, rather than some silly lemmy post, or comment claiming a specific thing, evidently, i didn’t do that.
Indeed
