    Without weighing in on the subject of TS being a billionaire, it’s just a terribly written article. Essentially just repeats the same phrases over and over about a handful of different states.

    Also, where the fuck did they get an average lifespan of 47.9 years???

    > residents would still need to work a whopping 215 years, or 4.59 lifetimes…

    215 / 4.59 = 47.98

    My mistake. It didn’t click for me that the article is talking about working years, not lifespan. Still a shittily written article.

      Believe it or not, you don’t work your whole life. If you start working at 19 and work until retirement age(67) that’s 48 years
