Jesus would open a whip braiding co-op if he heard that stat

Maybe if you saved it all in cash. But who does that?
If you invested the first $100k and earned a very modest 4%/year. After 2000 years you'd have $1,165,946,431,999,999,965,770,988,108,697,149,898,752

This is my go to evidence that the whole beliefs that real estate values always increase is absurd.

If real estate prices always increase, even modestly, then an apartment in Rome or Paris would cost hundreds of trillions of dollars. Obviously that's not the case, and since land speculation isn't exactly a new thing, there is a correction somewhere.

On the flip side if you invested in the equivalent of the Roman SNP500 you'd indeed have a gazillion denariuses.

it’s balanced out by the fake estate business

a true yin to its yang

Huh when did a standard investment system like that start

He was more than a Q. He was a union man.

I thought his union didn't like him

Lol. And yet it was still difficult for them to fire him!

It even started a Civil War!

That's not so long! Passover was just a week ago.... Oh... Oh jesus

This isn't true, because billionaires don't have a billion dollars.

But with all that money, why would you care whose ahead and behind you... And do they care about that, or is that just a narrative we've bought into, something to make us feel a certain way about the wealthy being unpleasant?

It's not a question of who's in front of or behind you. It's realizing that even if you received a ludicrous amount of money, repeatedly, over a ludicrous amount of time, it still wouldn't even scratch the utter lunacy that is the wealth of the ultra-rich. There is no way to earn that amount of wealth, in the sense of how you and I earn money. They acquired it by taking unjustly; there is no just way to become that wealthy.

Non-sense. Just be born rich, stupid.
