What does <current year> have to do with it? I had no idea what scale you meant because I’d forgotten the extremely rarely used prefix deca. Plus even decaliters isn’t really a lot when talking about hoarding water. Maybe literal cubic meters.
With the exception of deci and centi, I know literally nobody who uses prefixes that aren’t multiples of 1000. I’ve been using the metric system all my life. Have you?
Yeah. I have, I wasn’t thinking much, early morning today. I’m used to seeing more of them in my career, but I guess it’s not really “common” outside of that. Sorry, didn’t want to come off as confrontational.
And some guy says “hey man, you need to give back like 20% of that. And that’s kinda lowkey generous tbh.” And their response is literally like “no.”
Beyond every great fortune is a great crime.
Why would you think the modern day Robber Barons could be swayed by social need? If they cared about social need, they wouldn’t be billionaires to begin with.

If they need say first aid or a blood transfusion or the mob to stop beating them to death I think they could be persuaded to understand that we live in a society.

the importance of charity is that it is voluntary, taking advantage to tax loopholes is the closest that tax ever gets to charity.

It’s not too rare when using the (superior) metric system.

Yeah, a decalitre would just be a bucket of water.
You want exalitres.

Oh sure. But then they wouldn’t be Robber Barons so much as they’d be French Aristocracy on Bastille Day. Totally different position.
And even then, when Robespierre had King Louis by the balls, what did Marie Antoinette do? Austrian mercenary jailbreak.
“I’d rather fight to the death to keep my yacht than let anyone else have public health care” is just hardwired into some of these people.

I think you gotta check your math there. I think you meant to say 100.5% with a 0.5% error.
