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”
As a computer guy, just say, what’s bigger? A gigabyte or a terabyte? That’s the difference between a million and a billion.
Gigabyte is a billion bytes, terabyte is a trillion bytes. But yes, relatively speaking, you’re correct.
I like to think it like this: a million is a decent vacation. A billion is a generation.
Dude,… it’s a bit more paradox than usual, BUT I take it!
