The difference between $30,000 and a billion dollars is 1 billion dollars.

Mediocre men in cheetos-stained sweatpants: "No it's NOT, it's nine hundred and ninety-nine million, nine hundred and seventy thousand."

Reminder:

The difference between 1 billion dollars and 1 million dollars is a billion dollars.

1 million is 1/10th of 1 percent of 1 billion.

More money than anyone could ever spend in a lifetime, but they are clinging to their wealth like a sticky-fingered toddler to candy.

DOGE has promised to cut 2 trillion dollars. They have reported 55 billion so far, 1.945 trillion away from their goal.

Jobs lost. Planes crashing. Eggs are $20. Small farms bankrupted. Children going hungry.

97% away from their goal still. Will we survive?

Ahem.

For example, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour grossed an estimated $2.4 billion dollars. Even if Swift only got half of that (that'd be surprising), she'd net over $1.2 billion.

$197 million in bonuses to her employees isn't as generous as it sounds when you put it in perspective.

Why do we focus on billionaires but not millionaires?

The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is astronomical. We firmly believe that it is unethical for billionaires to exist. You cannot become a billionaire without causing harm.
