It’s a brutal reminder of just how staggeringly rich the truly rich are.

A dollar amount in a day that’s so much more than most have over a year.

Imagine never having to worry about the price of anything ever.

Likewise contact details etc… it’s maddening.

Take an article from a reputable publisher, an article for a subject that you are expert in.

Read it and make note of facts they got right and got wrong.

Now apply that same ratio to articles where you have little or no expertise.

These guys are just speed running th at to its inevitable end.
