    the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion

    For anyone struggling with the logic on this one, alllow me to beeak it down.

    1 billion minus 1 million equals 999 million, or, for all intents and purposes…

    about a billion.

    On a scale from 0 to 1 billion, 1 million is one tenth of one percent of the distance up from 0. From the perspective of a billionaire, a low end millionaire is indistinguishable from a homeless person.

    While it’s cathartic to hate on everyone with money when you’re struggling to pay rent and feed your family, billionaires are the problem (and taste like chicken).
