  • So we get to hundred, then thousand up to hundred thousand, why would we use a thousand thousand for a million, or ten hundred thousand, or a hundred thousand thousand? A new word at each separator just makes easy parsing.

    One hundred seventy three thousand million four hundred sixty two thousand four hundred twenty just sounds so much worse and harder to parser when hearing it.

    You must be young. The Iranians and other parts of the middle east have referred to us since at least the 80s, and probably before.

    When we brought a bunch of Nazis in after WWII and installed them in positions of importance (like heading NASA by Wernher von Braun) I think we gave them a pretty reasonable argument.

    Slow fascism vs fast fascism. More money to cops, more drilling, more selling public land, more building a boarder wall, more genocide, more pardons for bad people, more keeping “permanent” tax cuts for the wealthy, more inability to actually make anything better ever.

    At least with fast fascism some people are fighting back, but not hard enough to stop it.
