Prices of things are becoming absolutely insane. $800+ rent, $30,000 cars, $10 sub sandwiches, etc. It would be nice to do a 3/1 split and cut everything by 2/3. Then we would have $266 rent, $10,000 cars, and $3.33 sub sandwiches. Wages, debts, everything would drop to 1/3 what they are now. It would also make coins useful again since a vending machine soda would be 2 quarters again.

    Ah, my good sir, I believe that 33 trillion dollars is the equivalent of one current US national debt.

      Yes, but a regular individual cannot even fathom 33 trillion dollars. It is a number so large that it’s not understandable.
