@gimulnautti the problem is, this kind sort of thing of goes down the rabbithole as far as needed to make its rhetorical point without actually finally making sense of the wealth in honest terms.

That's wealth, not money. It's accounting trickery, based on unrealistic assumptions about what things are worth in sales that will never and can never actually happen.

It's a double-edged sword: those people hold up the accounting trickery to claim more power than they actually have, and activists use it to rile up the public over fictions.

Unfortunately, folks not in the game are vulnerable to being mislead, so they fall for it.
