"We don't talk enough about…"
Can I stop you there? Yes, we do. If anything, we talk too much about.
I think what you mean is

What does a trillion dollars look like?
We simply aren't wired for scale, and I think it's important to understand. So here are some visuals I put together to help out.
Here's a 6' dude standing next to a stack of 620 $100 bills. That's $62,000—the estimated median income of an American in 2025.

Don’t extrapolate my words—a singular act of defiance is just that and isn’t worthy of deference:
People like this are so quick to advocate for violent revolution from their desk chair, yet so unaware that real change needs numbers—numbers that start to grow from singular actions like MTG’s.

Let me help out, Emily: if the “someone” in your non-story is the President of the United States, and your “that guy” is the most notorious sex criminal in the world, it might seem newsworthy to us lowly non-journalists.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

And you look it up and it’s, like, banana bread

It’s it illegal for a sitting president to dismiss results of municipal elections that hinder his prospects for a third term? It’s complicated.

Another slide from Shelley's lecture.
I'm not sure that knowledge of this Missouri argument has spread much in poli sci/ con law circles. Missouri claims standing bc access to telemedicine mifepristone would reduce *teen pregnancy* and therefore *future population for political representation.*

ACKSHYUALLY, the real sin here is the false precision used by the replier.
Do you really think a precipitation estimate for a category 4 hurricane is going to be precise down to the millimeter level?
40 inches ≈ 1 meter
