    Careful you’ll draw the ire of the “my favorite mega rich celebrity isn’t bad” folks.

      I still think it’s worth pointing out that the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is about a billion dollars.

          In this context, why the hell wouldn’t you? If you need a freaking logarithmic scale for it, if the gap between haves and have nots is this lopsided, at the very least making a conservative “no matter where we put a line maybe a billion is too much” is a useful thing to go. We can quickly quibble over whether multimillionaires should exist, but no matter what, the existence for billionaires is a failing of society.

            I mean, I wasn’t being sarcastic. I actual meant “oh good” but considering I have 12 downvotes I’m assuming everyone took that to offense somehow.

              Ya, I read it as sarcasm, apparently I’m not alone there. No harm no foul, but sorry for misreading it.
