    Calm down? We’re gunna circle back around to that.

    But in what world is half of a percent of 500m a day equal to 38 billion? So not only are you incorrect in your turn of phrases, but you also don’t understand math.

    And I was calm, just pointing out that the phrase you used was incorrect. You so casually dropping that phrase is pretty fucking misogynistic, it really reads like a guy talking down to a woman. You should really work on that about yourself.

    Edit: you down voting this means it affected you in some way. I hope you reflect on that fact.

      A government shutdown costs are an estimated 500 millions a day.

      If we only shave of half of the daily GDP due to a general strike, we are talking about 38 billion.

      You misread. Those numbers are not connected. Daily gdp of the United States is roughly 77 billion. Half of that is 38 billion.
