Yeah, I mean, I understand a billionaire being 3 orders of magnitude more wealthy than a millionaire is a fuckton, but I am used to thinking in those terms. Proportionally, having a billion dollars compared to a million dollars is as having a million dollars is to having a thousand dollars. Once you get past 7 or 8 zeroes, it's just past what the average human can really fathom. It's like trying to comprehend galactic-scale space or time.
I see a lot of jealousy of people at the next one or two orders of magnitude. Meaning, someone who has a 5 figure net worth looking at the people around them with a 6 figure net worth and thinking those are the people that are holding them down. When in reality, the people with <5, 5, 6 and 7 figure net worth are all in the same boat that the people with 9 and 10 figure net worths are shaking (down). The people with the 8 figure net worth are in a sweet spot hoping no one notices them.
Also, Democrats standing up to Republicans by fleeing is pretty damn funny. I know this happens from time to time in Texas, but in today's political context, it cracks me up.
