People can’t even grasp the concept of a billionaire. It just feels “rich” to them. But put it in terms of time:

1 million seconds is 12 days
1 billion seconds is 32 years

That’s what an obscene amount of money a billion dollars is.

The elephant in the room: The individuals and groups that drive support for Trump, Republicans and the reckless effort to end democracy - billionaires and the evangelical church - pay no taxes (effectively for the former, literally for the latter).

Rich people are Like That.

intactics my favorite bit of "rich people are Like That" ephemera that | picked up from my Russian literature binge was from a noble character who was complaining about his serfs neglecting their duties, specifically the duty of staying up all night long slapping the pond water in order to prevent the frogs from croaking so that the nobleman could enjoy his sleep at his country estate with its adorable pond. whenever | hear wealthy people's complaints in this day and age the majority of it automatically filters to "the fucking serfs won't slap the pond anymore and it's honestly so destructive and cruel of them to deny me my beauty sleep like this" type statements

    "The money was all appropriated for the top in hopes that it would trickle down to the needy.

    Mr. Hoover didn't know that the money trickled up.

    Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow.

    Bit it will at least have passed through the poor fellow's hand."
