If you lost LESS than what you otherwise would have then you made a profit over what you would have.

Losing less is the same as gaining, in that both result in your net worth being higher than it otherwise would have.

This was literally a problem on a test in my macroeconomics class, and it was given specifically to illustrate that you can gain money in one place but lose overall.


Not sure what's left to say tbh.

As someone who has a degree in economics and who's getting a finance/accounting MBA i'm really shocked how a graduate student like yourself has such a poor grasp of math.

losing money two years in a row does not equal a positive value. -100+-50=-150 not positive 50

like lmao i feel dumb for engaging you

well he cannot feed himself without assistance of the state and mommie-in-law so basic addition and subtraction is way out of his grasp

hence the election-denying

You didn't comprehend what I posted so I think it's appropriate that you feel dumb.

Please let me know what university gave you an economics degree so I know never to take graduates from their economics Department seriously

However I'm pretty sure you're lying about that because you've been known to lie for credibility before



As for what's left to say, you could address the fact that making money from your position in a public office is bad, and Trump definitely did that.

Here's a better example

A company is losing 1 trillion dollars a year

The next year they release a new product that is so monumentally amazing that it generates 900 billion dollars more than it costs to produce.

Did they make a profit on that product? Yes. There is no question. Even though the company is not profitable, the product they released was insanely profitable.

This isn't hard. The difference of two negative numbers can be positive, it's basic math.


When you say you can't break things into pieces that shows you have no clue what you're talking about and probably don't have an economics degree, at least not one that's worth anything. Accounting is all about breaking things into pieces

Collective math iq between the 3 stooges doesn't crack 100 here.

He lost money because he took his office, that's fact, spelled out and explained in the Forbes article. You speculating about him abusing contracts is just that...speculation. If he did do that why aren't lawmakers going after him?


My IQ is 147 and you are wrong, end of story.
Pretty much impossible to go after the president on white collar crime.

Void im sorry. You arent dumb. Youre just really bad at emotional regulation and that changes how you think on some things. You probably do fine in class and in most job functions, but when you have something personal on the line, like your political identity, you get emotional and stop thinking things through.

It's not a difference it's a summation. Just lol man. Two negative period doesn't net a positive one.

One year you lost 10 dollars next year you lost 5. You didn't gain 5 dollars net you lost 15 over the span of 2 years.

I lost interest in this convo tbh

I would lose interest too if I dug a hole this deep.

Youre failing at grasping econ 101 level concepts so im not surprised you are losing interest. Again, thats your defense mechanism. "Yeah, im not failing, im just not interested in the content enough to try."


In my example the company posted a net loss of 1.1 trillion dollars, but when you break it into individual items they made a profit of 900 billion dollars on that one item, even if it wasn't enough to covert their losses in other areas. This isn't a complicated idea, and the only reason you have any kind of contention is because you are emotionally invested in Trump doing nothing wrong.
