      It’s not an arbitrary date is it? It’s when AD started

        Sure, but why use that for a length of time one must earn a wage? Nobody’s 2,025 years old. How about something like a human lifespan, or something round yet close to that, such as a century?

          Sounds like you’re volunteering to remake the chart! Rather than complain about someone making it “wrong” in your opinion, you could just, you know, put that same energy towards fixing it yourself.

      How is that arbitrary date relevant?

      I dunno, I just read the first line in the graphic.

      What about the contradictions?

      You didn’t specify contradictions and this isn’t my job.

        If you’re not going to respond to my comments, don’t respond to my comments.

        Read the lines with that “christ date” or whatever made up bullshit that is.

          They’re pointing out that if you live for 2,000 odd years you would still have to have several thousand lifespans at that extended life length in order to equal Jeff Bezos.

          The reason I was able to work that out was because I read the first fucking sentence.

            My point is that 2,025 years is a very arbitrary length of time, “Christtime” isn’t a word, and the chart contradicts itself. You could work that out by reading my comments, and beyond the first fucking sentence.

              Not once have you said what the contradictions were, so don’t blame others for your inability to express what you mean.
