Math. It matters.
From a letter in today's News-Gazette
The reason that the Big 3 cannot compete is executive salaries. The math once again proves how wrong Kruse is for blaming the autoworkers. The top two General Motors executives combined salaries were over $22 million in 2007. Divide that by 3.8 million cars sold by GM in 2007, and you find that these two salaries added over $5,800 to the price of every car GM sold in America last year.
Yes, please. Divide $22 million by 3.8 million. Did you get 5,800?

Damn, when I use a slide rule for division, I always get the decimal point wrong.
To write in to the Snooze, you must be infected teh drooling stoopids. No exceptions.
Actually, Edmond's Insider Line lists GM 2007 sales at 9.4MM, while Automotive News lists 8.9MM sales (after subtracting sales in China).
Hee. Sometimes you don't even need to mock the stupid people; they do it for you.
