A million seconds is ~11 days. A billion seconds is ~32 years. A trillion seconds is 31,689 years.

Being a CEO mist be the easiest fuxking job in the world. This fucker has the time to work 5 of those jobs and can still be "a top ranked player" in multiple video games!

CEO's seem like the most expensive daycare center for overgrown toddlers ever thought up.

It's okay, it's all unrealized gains so he can't do anything with it except to use it as a collateral, oh and especially NOT pay taxes.

Exactly this. It's Schrödinger's money.

Worth nothing so it can't be taxed and worth billions so it can be used as collateral to take out tax-free loans from the bank.

They see the problem. They're getting paid to ignore it.

Whatever country he dies in gets to keep the money that’s just science

We need to take it all and redistribute it.

He’s so good at the game he’ll surely have no problem winning again.

Its fugazi, this money isn't real, the worth is made up and expeculated.

The eventual implosion of the American is going to be crazy, I've never heard any American politician even say the word austerity, they'll be eating each other.

Ah yes, uNrEaLiSeD gAiNs.

Simultaneously worth nothing so it can't be taxed and worth billions so it can be used as collateral to take out tax-free loans from the bank.

Ever the paradox that one.

It's still fascism, so what you are describing is just Soylent Green but the citizens have the full freedom™ to chose any colour Soylent Green they want. #free

(Also they have austerity, it's just too big of a word to use publicly, but systemic cutting of programmes that don't transfer public wealth to a few private pockets has been going on for 50 years now. The talk is the same as "austerity" in eg British politics - gutting the funds for the lazy bastards in healthcare, education, transport, etc ... but not warcrime industry or the factory of tax cuts for the rich.)

I see we are mixing up wealth and income again.
