Before PISA, knowing the four rules was enough to get by in life. Today’s times require mastering even the algorithms before they do it with us, but the reports on our mathematical knowledge are nothing to write home about, and our left seems to contribute to this: “more” is not its thing.
We read it on networks: “Adding is now Subtracting” (@anadebande). The Sumar/ Podemos thing has ended up subtracting and dividing for a majority of Twitter users, with the heart and the electoral coalition breaking and you go with dad or mom in Congress or the European elections, for which it is not that far away. There had been talk of multiplying, with synergies and all that. Synergy, oh, nice word that, returning to math, implies having to give much more while receiving the same or less, lucky that we failed in calculus. And in other things.
We said that the networks have examined what has happened these days on the left and have issued their report: they have to improve, another of those euphemisms that have led us to where we are, and not only in the competitions. At first glance, it seems that some have achieved a good success, a random sample like that of Catalan students in PISA, for example @AntonioMaestre, points it out: “The first great failure of Yolanda Díaz.”
The tweet, much longer with its corresponding context, another euphemism, now in fashion, has received comments such as that of @Ferronimo: “I half agree.” The mean and mode are also a question of mathematics, especially useful in statistical calculation, which is why electoral polls turn out the way they do.
This, like everything about X, goes by neighborhood. “The attack of horns that Iglesias has with Yolanda Díaz is a psychologist,” @evaspinola70 said. A way of saying that the former leader of Podemos also fails, and by a lot. The pumpkins reach the right: “We have to see how the media and political right wants Podemos these days, it will be because they want to kill Sumar” (@begonys). They only approve the newspaper archives, which also serve to point out the pumpkins: “We can have a name, transfuguism. And I’m not saying it, Irene Montero said it in 2022 in the same case” (@DCAlderon).
Pedro Sánchez says about Podemos’ move to the mixed group: “We will have to negotiate a little more.” Do we admit it as addition or as subtraction? Or like a multiplication. From problems.
