Without weighing in on the subject of TS being a billionaire, it’s just a terribly written article. Essentially just repeats the same phrases over and over about a handful of different states.

Also, where the fuck did they get an average lifespan of 47.9 years???

> residents would still need to work a whopping 215 years, or 4.59 lifetimes…

215 / 4.59 = 47.98

My mistake. It didn’t click for me that the article is talking about working years, not lifespan. Still a shittily written article.

It’s probably LLM (“AI”) generated. As we all are probably aware now, it’s anything but intelligent. It just says bullshit confidently. The average lifespan number probably comes from some third world countries wiki page or something, but it doesn’t understand context and just uses pattern matching to fill in the next expected word. It doesn’t know what the information came from or how to apply it to other information.

Believe it or not, you don’t work your whole life. If you start working at 19 and work until retirement age(67) that’s 48 years

Damn, you’re right. I absolutely did not make that connection. Updated.
