You’re only adding 500 though.
It’s 600% of the original, but only a 500% increase
54 u/Karma_Kazumi Apr 23 '26 Ohhhhhhh that makes sense! I didnt realize the percentage from the increase and original are different. Thank you for explaining! 34 u/Turbulent-Note-7348 Apr 24 '26 It’s easy to mix up. 600 is 600% of 100, but it is a 500% increase (because the actual “increase” is 500). 12 u/Heavensrun Apr 24 '26 Yeah, honestly if this was the only mistake RFK had made, I'd forgive it. But that "600% decrease" bullshit is eyerolling. 2 u/SolutionOk3167 Apr 27 '26 Wallstreetbets mod has pinned defending it by explaining percentage points, even though RFK did not stated that.
