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)_/¯

More big brain moves from Trump lol

“We need to spell ‘millions’ but we don’t have enough room on the sign and hyphenating it will look bad. What do we do?”

“Make it worse.”

If you can’t win, cheat. - GOP philosophy

Don’t forget Obama’s birth certificate

No idea if you’re right or not but that’s not what I meant. I meant they don’t have to hunt down the johns, the johns already provided all the possible info the prosecutors would need to find them.

My crazy prediction is the only lesson the GOP will take from this is that they have to try to steal elections even harder.

Keep voting at every legal opportunity you can people and great job yesterday!!
