Okay, for the guys who do not like the example of Ohm's Law. Most of you do know it, but just do not realize you know it.
Current (amps) equals volts divided by resistance.
If you plug your 120 V toaster into a 240 V circuit. The current flow will double and burn out the toaster.
If you plug your 120 V toaster into a 12 V outlet, It will not push enough amps through the circuit to warm your bagel.
So, really, how many here did not know that? One thing I know is the plugs won't fit 
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I have been in a store, power was out, cash only, and the 19 year old clerk could not make change. When I was in school you wouldn't pass fourth grade if you could not subtract 7.38 from 10.00
Fourth grade.

I could read pretty well by the time I was 4 or 5. My kids could read before they started kindergarten. One of my girls could read amazingly well at 3 years of age. During my career I often took written statements from young adults and it was hard to believe how ignorant those statements were or should I say how ignorant the writers were. Very often they were hard to make any sense of at all. Some were HS graduates. How do these people hold a job?

They aren’t all drooling retards. We are only discussing the window licking majority at this time. We can get to our own genius level progeny in a different thread.

Not harsh - just a bit off target for this thread. Most of us have, or know, kids and grandkids who are top learners and performers. But, that is our expected norm - not some feature. Our hopes lie with those kids. It is the big majority - the designed ignorami - that we are discussing here - and reasons.

OK there is Ohm's Law...as written in textbooks. Listen up pilgrims, I'll give you the real life Ohm's Law. When you grab the Ohmmeter out of your tool chest...the battery will be dead. Turns out, Herr Ohm and Mr Murphy were related.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Fourth grade. Nobody knows how to properly figure change in their head, or to count your change back to you aloud. And they struggle to figure out the correct coins to hand you out of the drawer. They can't figure any of it out without looking at the register display. Few these days remember the time when the lady checking you out would pick up each item with one hand and move it down while punching the price into the register with the other hand and not having to look at the keys and everything would be correct all the while the man would be sacking your goods All before scanning, and they didn't miss a beat and things moved along pretty much as fast or faster than a modern cashier can scan and sack up everything theirselves, including not having to open up a paper grocery bag. They were skilled
