For those not in the know, girl math is defined as:
When a pair of cute shoes retail at $89 and you find them on sale for $29; you did not save $60, yet this means you have $60 yet to spend!
Cassie: OMG, these are only $29??
Melissa: Nice, what’s the retail?
Cassie: $89
Melissa: You have $60 left to spend!
Melissa & Cassie: GIRL MATH!!
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) announced this week that New Yorkers will soon face a $9 congestion charge for driving into Manhattan’s Congestion Relief Zone, CBC News reported. Hochul originally canned the program as the presidential election loomed. Her first proposal was for people to pay a $15 and is now claiming that $9 “will save daily commuters” money.
“State law requires that congestion pricing simultaneously raise money for the MTA [Metropolitan Transportation Authority] and drive down traffic congestion. These are important priorities. But I believe that no New Yorker should have to pay a penny more than absolutely necessary to achieve these goals, and $15 was too much,” Hochul said. “I am proud to announce we have found a path to fund the MTA, reduce congestion and keep millions of dollars in the pockets of our commuters.”
Girl math, writ large. Because charging $9 instead of $15 will somehow save people money.
Does no one point this shit out to her and let her know how stupid she sounds?
