dismalnow, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago) I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills. That's 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit. I honestly don't think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life. Edit: more mind bogglery! The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)
