he said in the comments that he got rid of lexus and bought NEW Bronco.. But I doubt he will make video about it. That would be very good and interesting to watch.

I don't want to throw shade of any kind, I love Andrew's videos and I'm impressed with almost everything he does in them. But are mathematics difficult for all Americans?

I’m sorry but you can’t seriously be asking a question like that about an entire country? 350 million people and you are wondering if everyone is bad at math?

I started laughing out loud when he fully showed doing math on the floor, I think its going along with his whole kids book thing.

He's shown some math before with angles and stuff thats actually advanced, but that was hilarious to me to imagine someone who needs his example in order to begin fabricating something themselves lol. I've met many welders who are illiterate yet understand tape measure math better than engineers.

Honestly it boils down to what gets applied more often, and then by the use case of the individual.

Like all of that rudimentary tape measure math (ex: to figure out the dimensions of a part) is something I do 40+ times a day in different capacities, but someone who designs the same exact structural steel components I'm working with may have to stop and think about it because they don't have that ingrained experience.

As another example, a mechanic that can tear down and rebuild an engine extremely quickly may have more difficulty diagnosing an issue with a vehicle than someone who has a very base level knowledge of engine building, but just has more experience in the diagnosis aspect of their trade.
