Quick bit of arithmetic

I calculated that the $2 billion that JP Morgan lost the other day actually comes out at something like €1.55 billion.

My lifestyle in a good year costs some €30,000 (not had a good year in the past few, I would add).

Which means with that money I could have lived for 51,670 years approximately.

Or put another way, how many schools, colleges and hospitals could you have built with the money?

How many wildlife habitats could you have saved for the next century?

How many starving children could you have fed?

Just a thought or series of thoughts ....
