For most people, a billion, a million, it's all an abstract amount that doesn't mean anything anymore.
Given that the ballroom is projected to be 90,000 square foot, that means we are paying more than $11,000 per square foot for that ballroom. What the actual f*ck? How many people had to be fired from their jobs to finance this sh*t?
If the next admin does not demolish that ballroom, which in models looks *larger* than the White House itself at this point, what are we even doing here? Why do we even have a country?
