minus-squareGabe BelllinkfedilinkEnglish17•2 years agoThat… wasn’t exactly my point. My point was more that people think £1bn is not that much more than £1m. That billionaires aren’t “all that rich” I was trying to illustrate that one billion of anything is far more than you think it is. If you met 100 people an hour, every hour, for every day it would take you one thousand, one hundred and forty one years to meet one billion people. And yet people say “Eh – people shouldn’t persecute billionaires. They deserve that much” My point is no.
