Someone skipped math class to invent economic policy! This brilliant "poverty solution" suggests using the infamous divergent series 1+2+3+... to magically distribute wealth. Unfortunately, this infinite sum doesn't equal -1/12 in standard arithmetic—that's a complex mathematical trick used in string theory and quantum field theory with regularization methods.

Even if this mathematical wizardry worked (spoiler: it doesn't), the proposed distribution system would create the world's most inefficient payment processing nightmare. Imagine the paperwork! "Sorry, we can't end poverty today because we're still calculating who gets $7,453,291,221."

The real mathematical tragedy? Thinking wealth distribution is as simple as a series that literally breaks mathematics. Next up: solving climate change by dividing by zero!
