Yeesh, you're exactly right that this is the right way to think about it and thank you for pointing it out that way. Absolutely disgusting, I can't believe we all allow this. I'm pretty fuckin good at math and those timescales and numbers are just not intuitive, I'm always surprised with figures like these, even though I've seen em before. If people knew, really knew this stuff, I have to believe it would change.

Anyone "earning" like this while the people (and their families) propping up these fiefdoms sacrifice and struggle the way they're forced to - anyone doing so is de facto amoral. I'd go so far as to say deserving immediate death, no further evidence needed.

But maybe that's the 4 beers my old ass had tonight making me feel spicy, lol.
