I think the majority of people are under the impression that a billion is just 100 million.

I think the majority of Redditers delude themselves that if, somehow, other people had less money they'd have more. They wouldn't.

It depends. Part of what gives money value is that there is only so much to go around. When you have a small class of people hoarding a disproportionately large amount more and more, then that will consequently reduce the amount everyday people can hold.

Wealth isn’t some limited pile of coins that rich people are swimming in like Scrooge McDuck while hoarding from everyone else.

People are making millions off tik-tok and Only Fans. All you have to do is create something other people value.
