As we're now approaching $39 million in debt, I asked ChatGPT for some fun number play. Here's what it came up with:
>If you spent $1 per second, it would take:
about 1.24 million years to spend it all.
Spending $1 million per day:
about 106,849 years.
Spending $1 billion per year:
about 39,000 years.
>Average US salary ≈ $60,000/year.
$39 trillion equals:
about 650 million years of average salaries.
That means:
One person working nonstop would need to work since before
humans existed.
>If you were to stack the debt all in $100 bills:
One bill thickness ≈ 0.0043 inches.
Stack height:
about 26 million miles high.
That’s:
Over 100× the distance from Earth to the Moon
>If you tried to pay down $39 trillion:
Raising $1 billion per day:
would take about 107 years.
Raising $10 billion per day:
still about 10.7 years nonstop.
