They should not exist, its akin to Smaug sat atop his pile of gold. Once you hit 999 million you should get a certificate that says I completed capitalism and then be taxed at 99% on all their wealth over the billion mark. What is the point in anyone hoarding that much wealth? Especially given the inequality that exists in society.

I think you are being more than generous at 999m it should stop at 100m. You can't realistically spend that unless you are utterly debauched.

Absolutely! You are right, 100 million seems a more reasonable number.
I just don't see how anyone hoarding that much wealth and resource is anything but a negative on society.

I wonder how many of the 3381 post on here?

At least 5 given the tone of some

All very interesting but I'm fascinated by the scale of difference between a million and a billion, which is quite hard to grasp.

1 Million seconds equals about 11 and a half days; 1 Billion seconds, on the other hand, equals approximately 31 years and 6 months!

That’s how numbers work?

Yes, ten 10s are 100, and one thousand 1,000s are a million but one hundred 100s isn’t 1,000.

The yanks probably fecked with that somewhere along the line also

white millennial democrats isn't really that diverse. OK, fairly even gender, but I suspect that's not replicated in the UK.

According to those figures, the majority of her fans are not millennials.

That would chop about £170m from Steve Gibson and a fire sale of your best players as he looks at the priorities for is ailing wealth.

Or clubs could become part owned by fans like in Germany? Instead of the playthings of rich people?
