That’s hilarious. The $50m was a rounding error you forgot to account for. Given a work force of several hundred thousand, that would just about pay for an office chair each, let alone any other equipment or infrastructure, or office space to put the chair in.

Less "forgot" and more "didn't care to". But, yes, specifically the rounding error.

I have no idea why minimum wage workers would get an office chair worth a grand, or whatever you're assuming. You can have people do the work from their own couches and phones.

For $50MM/year I could set up the infrastructure to manage the process.
