9 billion IQ move

EasternMost Europeans who use,as a decimal point will only receive fifteen euros.I get using a comma as a radix, sure. It makes grammatical sense, like saying "two, and three tenths", just a little pause between concepts.
But how does it make any sense anywhere to use a full-stop for grouping digits?! "1.000.000.000.000" looks ludicrous, not to mention we can't even agree on whether thats a billion or a million!

Wikipedia has a great map for this:
I love how maps like this basically are just maps of historical conquest

I'd invent a machine that hits the button 1000 times a second and after a bunch of hours I'd buy Tesla, Amazon, Google and Apple and so on and turn them into companies profitable for humanity.
But first I'd buy some ice-cream.
What options could I place before I press the button?

We really need to pick one and go with it.
This is upsetting haha

So, Americans?

imagine: you get a dollar but so does elon musk. what would you do?
if everybody presses the button, we end up with a massive wealth inequality problem
and that's actually how companies operate: the employees work for the company (akin to pressing buttons, just more tedious), and for that they get wages, but the company's owners also get money that way. repeat the process and the company's owners end up being massively wealthy, which leads to massive wealth inequality.
is wealth inequality inherently bad? on a global level it seems to benifit most lemmings/redditors/bird brains?

Yeah, I do greatly enjoy pulling out this map whenever someone says "only those weirdos in <region/language> do it the other way around". Nono, it's actually a pretty even split.

The question isn't if I'd press the button, but how many times can I press it before it breaks.

It doesn't make grammatical sense, but in a typesetting and writing sense it checks out – comma is the larger of the two symbols

wealth inequality is unavoidable, but excessive wealth inequality is a disease on the society
