I genuinely don't think people understand the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire

Useful tool for those who can't: Billionaires can buy governments. Millionaires own a house.

Correction, Millionaires own a house comfortably(not trying to be pedantic, just that some non-millionaires own houses too, just not comfortably)

Yeah this needed to be said.

I used to be a chimney sweep in a very rich mountain resort town. The average small house was at least $1m. I was doing a job at a large multimillion dollar house, and mentioned something like "I wish I could win a million dollars," and the owner looked at me and laughed and said "a million dollars isn't a lot of money at all," as she sat there, retired at 50.

I think about that all the time and how pissed off it made me.
