Talking about billionaires ... it almost seems quaint as we barrel towards having actual trillionaires.

What a failure of society

I have a hard enough time getting my head around how much money $100B is already. Like, I don't even see numbers above the hundreds of thousands ever (usually on loans, like my mortgage), so the idea that some of these people could buy my house 100,000+ times over, and I will spend years, paying for it once, is hard enough.

Wealth hoarding has gotten way out of hand.
