      That’s not the price - that’s just what it looks like from the side. ASCII art innit.

      Humbly disagree; I’m on a mini-crusade to encourage people to always write out huge numbers in full, because of the tendency of human minds to not fully process just how huge a number a billion is.

      For example, when discussing working conditions at Amazon, one should write out Jeff Bezos’ net worth as $215,000,000,000 so we can see the zeroes. He could lose $5,000,000,000 and still have $210,000,000,000 left.
