"Kinetic" with a hard "T" like posh Brit is saying it to the queen? Everyone I've ever heard speaking US English pronounces it with a rolled "t" like "kinedic" so the alternate pronunciation still reads like it'd have a "d" sound

But like, you can't just delete someone's wealth, because they can't just rebuild an empire from scratch. These self-made billionaires are so strapped for cash, charitably speaking, because they need the capital to fund future charitable investments. Don't you want to get a trickle of charity more than once? That's why they can only donate like 10mil a year. Also partly because humans are really bad at estimating the difference between 10mil and 400bil. It's like a factor of 40. They'll be drained of wealth after 40 years at 10mil a year.

Oh wait. Hold on. 40 years... 10 mil/year... So 400 million.... If we froze their wealth of ~390bil, by the end of this scheme, they'd have.... ~390,000,000,000- 400,000,000 =~389.6bil.

OK nevermind fuckem

No, it'd take at least a 3rd heinously rich guy to wipe the 1.8tril USD student loan debt. Don't be ridiculous, 2 can't pull it off.

They didn't specify the status of the napalm in the movie quote. Could've been raw. Could've been provided by the other side. It's the visual cue sin the scene that tell the status. No difference here.
