Yeah; his profile is public. In fact he’s on right now: his gamer tag is P3 if you want to add him.
It is kind of surreal popping on my Xbox and seeing him online playing the same game I am.
How many absolute crap games is this now for this publisher this year? Three? It’s got to be some kind of money laundering scam, right?
Get money out of politics. Nothing will fundamentally change until we accomplish this.
Correct
That’s my point. We (those of us that aren’t at least millionaires) don’t really differentiate in society between someone that has a million dollars and someone that has 10 million dollars; they’re both stuck in the “millionaires” tier.
So say you are making $50,000 a year, well it’s easy to see how you or someone like you could (theoretically) get to $100,000; that’s just the next tier up. And then it’s easy to imagine someone going from $100,000 to a million because that’s the next tier up again. But once you get there, people don’t tend to think of ten million as a tier and usually not a hundred million either. The next tier in our zeitgeist after million is billion.
So people tend to think of billion being kind of the same as going from $100,000 to $1,000,000. Hence the common disconnect about just how much more money a billionaire has than the common man.
I have a theory about this: We group money in magnitudes of tens up to a million but then jump up from 10x to 1,000x:
1
10
100
1,000
10,000
100,000
1,000,000
1,000,000,000
That’s a huge increase but our minds like patterns so we instinctively feel that a billion must be about 10x a million and not the 1,000x it really is, thus leading to huge inaccuracies.
But feel free to keep killing the men, right? That’s fine.
Yo Dawg!
I’m pretty sure Apple fixed this in iOS 17 but I haven’t tested it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
100%.
There’s a reason Roger Stone has a huge Nixon tattoo…well probably more than one reason, all equally bad.
