And all to have a few thousand extra billionaires.

You vastly overestimate the billionaire cast. As of April 2025, there seem to be 902 billionaires in the US. (I can't access the original Forbes article, sorry).

Always love a good pedant.

But the exact number really doesn't matter and isn't the point.

Well it kind of does. Less than 1k people is a lot easier to grasp than thousands for people.

Thank you.

I think the exact magnitude of the billionaire caste illustrates the magnitude of the point.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Yeah, but maybe someday I'll be one of those billionaires!

Then that'll show someone like me!
