Thanks friend. I know I’m missing a lot - and holes are ready for poking in this - but is my math close?
To: J. Worthington
OK...so 229,216,000 "adults." If we gave EVERYONE in this demographic $1,000,000. Yes, ONE MILLION DOLLARS. It would only add up to 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS.
The author's math is off. It would add up to 229 trillion dollars.
To: J. Worthington
No, your math isn’t close. Your plan would cost $230 trillion.
With 2.5T, you can afford to give everybody $10,000.

The math is wrong. $2.3 trillion is $10,034.2 per person for 229,216,000 people, not $1 million per person.

With your masterful command of mathematics, I’m gonna guess: public school graduate. Am I right? :)
Check your work and report back to the class the correct amount per person. It’s not a million dollars.

Check your math. That ain’t right, but I’d have to get my BIG calculator to give you the correct number. My guess is it would be in the tens of thousands range.

That is what I was thinking. Very large numbers, but I think your math is accurate. :)

Look at the bright side.
At least you don’t have a Roman Numeral II or III after your last name, or worse yet, a hyphenation.

If we only counted legal adults I think the math would work. Am I right? Am I right? Buehler...Buehler...

Damn it, I wanted my million dollars. I knew I should have voted for Hillary, she would have given it to me.
