in a lot of ways a lot of the billionaires are the robber barons of our times. having multiple billions in wealth doesn't seem to be compatible with a healthy society and seems to be a failure of that society. the sheer scale of even one single billion dollars compared to a million dollars is absurd. a million seconds of time is almost 12 days. a billion seconds is 32 years of time.
