I absolutely agree. Billions are silly. Millions (but likely not hundreds of millions) end up looking more reasonable in a country with no real social safety net and where there are very limited options for sports specialists post-career and those are inequitably distributed.

At least in the case of Athletes it makes a little more sense. Their careers are both delicate & finite, and often the decision to stop is not theirs to make. They can't think "How much do I need now" and instead have to think "how much will I need to live and pay my medical bills until I die?"

And you know what really helps us stick together? Adhesive! And by adhesive, I mean, terrible humor?

What’s brown and sticky?
A stick!

Anyway, thank you for doing what you do. I’m a high school librarian with ADHD and you have been a huge help, professionally and personally.
