    millions = lifetime human income

    billions = massive company (top 5,000)

    trillions = large government (top 20)

    • Read “gov spends millions” as “they employed 3 to 30 people”
    • Read “company is fined 1 million” as “the had to hire 2 lawyers instead of 1”
    • Read “company is fined 100 million” as “paying ~100 employees for ~10 years”
