    Not making a point here, I just like numbers:

    China has a population of ~1.4 billion

    China has 698 billionares

    China has the one billionare for every 2,005,730 people.

    United States has a population of ~340 million

    United States has 724 billionaires

    US has one billionaire for every 469,613 people.

    Edit: I like numbers. I don’t like Reddit/Lemmy formatting.

      I think it’d be better when adjusted for GDP.

      China gdp: $17.96 trillion

      China has 1 billionare / $25.73 billion GDP or 1 billionare / $18.22 GDP / capita

      US gpd: $27.94 trillion

      US has 1 billionare / $38.59 billion GDP or 1 billionare / $114.88 GDP / capita

        It’s a stupid comment practice where they claim ownership of their comment and place what they think is a binding and effective license against AI using that comment.

        It literally does nothing. This is the modern equivalent of making a post on Facebook to assert that you have rights and control of your comments there.

        Beyond the tools for editing and deletion you have no such rights in the Fediverse and it’s a good way to demonstrate you don’t understand how anything works.

        Nothing stops anyone or any entity from indexing, ingesting, or scraping federated content.
