Except you're given an infinite amount of bills, not money in the bank. So even when moving the money to the bank you'd be able to access it quicker with the 100s

That's a concession of the premise, you obviously can't have infinite anything, but if you could then the 100s would bring more utility

Sure if you're talking about a concept like money, but we're talking about dollar bills and 100 dollar bills, physical objects. And if you're talking about physical objects you have to consider material reality, if you're choosing one or the other the 100 dollar bills are more convinient. Therefore they have more utility, which makes them have a higher value.

It comes from Walmart the billion dollar corporation.

Walmart, which steals from the pockets of all their employees in the form of wage theft, and steals from us in the form of tax avoidance, paying employees just enough so they qualify for foodstamps and Medicaid (programs which come from our tax dollars) and pay to show them how to sign up for those programs instead of paying them enough money for groceries and insurance (which they have way more than enough to be able to do). Money they have by stealing customers from small business by underpricing for a loss until Walmart is all that's left so they can raise money and steal from those customers by inflating prices for profit of the owners.

You only think it's simple because you don't actually know the problem.

If you hold a light in a dark infinite room, with all the things you see being the things you know and the circumference of the circle of dark around you as the things you don't know that you don't know,

Your light would be a dim candle that doesn't even let you see enough to know what the problem is, let alone that light being bright enough to know the answer.

The ∞ set between 0 and 1 never reaches 1 or 2 therefore the set of real numbers is valued more. You're limiting the value of the set because you're never exceeding a certain number in the count. But all real numbers will (eventually in the infinite) get past 1. Therefore it is higher value.

The example they're trying to say is there are more real numbers between 0 and 1 than there are integers counting 1,2,3... In that case the set between 0 and 1 is larger but since it never reaches 1 it has less value.

Infinity is a concept so you can't treat it like a direct value.

You mean integers and real numbers between 0 and 1.

All real numbers would start at 0, 0.1, 0.001, 0.0001.... (a 1:1 match with the set between 0 and 1) all the way to 1, 1.1, 1.01.... Etc.

Infinity is a concept that can't be reached so it can't be counted up fully. Its not a hard number so you can't get a full value from it since there is always another number to reach. Therefore you only peak at ∞ in any individual moment. You can never actually count it.

Ah but you see if you take into consideration it's talking about bills and not money in an account you have to take into consideration the material reality. A person who receives more 100s would have an easier time depositing and spending the money therefore they have higher utility, therefore they are worth more than the 1s.

Sure they may have the same amount of numbers (and 1, 2,3... May even be larger because you'll eventually repeat in the 1:1 examile) but in reality the one with the 100s will have an easier time using their objects (100 dollar bills) than the ones who pick the 1 dollar bills

They can spend the same amount of money, but at any moment the one with 100s has more money. If you have 2 people each picking up 1 bill at the same rate at any singular moment the person picking up the 100s will have more money.

Since we're talking about a material object like dollar bills and not a concept like money we have to take into consideration it's utility and have to keep in mind the actual depositing and spending would be at any individual moment. The person with 100s would have a much easier/quicker time using the money therefore the 100s have more utility.

Flat structure. If you want to work on something, work on it; if it's not interesting to you, find something else. If you have an idea find people that also seem passionate for it and start making it, if you can't find people then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's why valve rarely makes anything, but when they do it's super high quality

Whose pocket does it come out of when someone steals from Walmart?
