flawed algorithm
|
just so you know
seventy-eight cents
is not equal to one
work place same job
dollar plus we are
not here for corporal
pleasure or disdain
we protest and
suggest you go back
to the element of
the dis functioning
calculator and redo
the equation so that
x equals x and y equals
y are absolute like
a woman is a woman
equals a man is a man
any questions?
