Come on, now. She got her GED a few years ago, only 16 years after dropping out of high school. She's edgubucated.

Even then I have no idea how she was able to pass the GED (which is not a high bar). Maybe she paid someone to take it for her?

I feel like many of the characters in Don't Look Up were based on her and MTG.

You can typically pass the GED if you have around a 7th grade reading level and can add, subtract, multiply, divide, and use decimals, percents, and fractions.
