That’s actually all… I’ll leave it up to you to speculate on the cure…

      The difference between a million and a billion is a billion, with a small margin of error.

      Getting to $10 million is basically just the classic “American Dream”. Even $50-millionaires aren’t doing damage to society and the political system like billionaires do.

      Quarter-billionaire is where you start getting sus IMO.

      Not entirely agreed about millionaires. Some places, just owning a house for forty years makes you a multimillionaire. Like, one of my adopted grandmothers, Trin? She had a place out in San Francisco she rented out for $100/month. Could have rented it for twenty times that but she already had enough moneys. Also, she wanted to stick it to her nephews and nieces who got a piece of the rent and were jerks to her over money, who wanted her to sell the place for like ten million (what it was worth). She bought the place in something like 1910 for a song. I wonder who owns the place now, she passed like 20 years ago.
