  • One million seconds = ~11 days

    One billion seconds = 31 years

    It’s not one order of magnitude - it’s three.

    One billion vs one million is the difference between a dollar candy ($1) and a full-time paycheck ($1,000).

    The space between a nice bottle of wine ($50) and a median priced automobile ($50,000).

    The delta between an expensive night out ($250) and a fucking house ($250,000).

    And ultimately,

    The failure of a working class income ($30,000 - or $15/hr x 40hrs FTE) and the assholes who rule us ($30,000,000).
