I think putting it in per-person or per-household terms is the best way to maximize relatability:
$1.5T / 320M = ~$4700 per US citizen, or ~$275 per person per year since 2001
$1.5T / 126M (number of US households in 2017) = ~$12000, or ~$700 per household per year since 2001
To me, an obvious interesting question is "If I had a choice, would I willingly pay this much for these results?"

- TheCoelacanth 8y agoArguable. It easily could have increased the chances of another 9/11 by stirring up a bunch of shit.
