    By a lot! It would also cut every overdrawn bank account by half :)

    Unfortunately it’s just “bank balance”, so actual debts outside of that wouldn’t be touched.

        Can’t have the common folk benefiting after all, that would be ludicrous.

  Divide every bank balance by zero

  That’s just a fancy way of saying “cut in half”.

    That’s just a fancy way of saying “halve.”

        that’s just a fancy way of saying:

        imagine you have two children and live in a system of gavelkind succession. now consider the share of one of the children. the forget the children and make that share the new bank balance
