Some guy gives you $6.

I say I'm gonna give you $20.

I get you $14 and I say it's $20 because of the $6 from before.

Do you not get why people would be upset about this? Stop thinking like a wonk and start thinking like someone who reads at a fifth grade level and had their civics class cut due to lack of funding.

No, it's some guy gives you $6.

I say I'm going to give you $20.

When it comes time to give you the money later, a third party says no.

I give you the $14 that I can give you.

You ignore that the third party got in the way and you told me it's my fault.

Stop thinking like a wonk

You should start thinking this way, so that the things you say are correct and relevant.
