That’s the classic stock/flow issue.

What people forget is that values like turnover and wages are denominated in $/month not $.

Mixing up the two is like mixing up miles per hour and miles.

Not at all. I can't convert between miles per hour and miles given an interest rate.

You can convert between the two with an acceleration rate.
