    Another minor point of contention: Lamborghini’s are at best 4-5 times faster than a shitbox car. A single-billionaire earns 20 000 times more than the average person. The scales are all out of wack.

    A closer comparison would be the difference between a private jet and a person walking. Even that would only be a 200x difference. A snail and private jet is much closer to that 20 000x difference.

    It’s so absurd a difference I’m scale that the comparison is hard for people to imagine.

    A world where the difference between the average person and the richest people is only as large as a shitbox and a Lamborghini’s speed would be actually be a pretty palatable society to live in.
