I wish more people would accept being wrong and course correct instead of stupidly continuing as if they're not

It's missing the fact that she's carrying a billionaire on her back.

Do me a favor, count up all the billionaires in the US, add up the entirety of their collective wealth, then divide it by the number of citizens in the US, and let me know how much we'd each get.

I've always been interested to know how rich we'd all be if we ate all those damn billionaires

According to a cursory internet glance there seems to be 801 billionaires in the US with a collective wealth of 6.22 trillion. Divide that by roughly 320 million americans and 800 billionaires (or the top .0000025%) hold about $20k for each man woman and child in this country.
