Bet she could finish the sentence:

From each according to their ability and to each according to their [blank].

Weingarten, however, is a not a sixth-grader or a math teacher. She's a lawyer and a union boss who once taught high school social studies - and no one told her there was going to be a quiz

People go to law school so they don't have to do math. <ggg>

That's pretty embarrassing that she couldn't do that simple math.

Lindy, the answer to 1/3 + 1/4 isn't 7/12, it's 0.33333333333etc + 0.25 = 0.5833333333333333333333333333333333333etc

And anyway, why would you want to add one third and a quarter? Oh, that's right, the USA is still in the stone age, with ancient weights and measures. There's a modern system of measurement called metric.
