    “Billion”, sadly, is a term that nowadays conjures an individual human or corporate level figure.

    “Trillion” is an economy level figure and suitably conjures an idea of how fucked up you all are.

    IMHO.

      yup. especially we like our ancestors for quite some time back have only dealt in thousands back when the richest dealt in millions.
