I mean, to be fair, the level of wealth inequality is to the level of being several orders of magnitude beyond any numbers that anyone uses in daily life.

Politicians news reports on billions and trillions of dollars for this or that thing, but I don’t think most of us have a grasp.

I don’t even think the billionaires have a grasp, they just think they still need more.
