In these testing times for household budgets, the pair could prove invaluable as the perfect case study for both the theory of inverse proportionality and the law of diminishing returns. What better way to teach school children these most basic of mathematical principles than by studying the post-Megxit era? Inverse proportionality can be defined by the dictionary as “relative so that as one becomes greater the other becomes less.” But I think it’s perhaps more easily explained by juxtaposing a graph showing the increasing frequency with which Harry and Meghan have criticized the royal family with their approval rating. Look guys, the more the couple has gotten away from the Windsors, the less popular they’ve become! Meghan’s latest podcast couldn’t be a better archetype of, pardon the pun, the law of diminishing returns. It is a theory in economics that predicts that, after some optimal level of capacity is reached, adding an additional factor of output will actually lead to smaller increases in output. But isn’t there a simpler way to put it? The more the Sussexes talk, the less likely we are to listen. This is something even an elementary school student can understand. I reckon there are a million reasons why they keep finding these things. Meghan’s 60-minute me-fest is currently topping the Spotify charts. But the problem with the word salad is that it tends to give most people indigestion.
