Comment on A universal basic income to the ultra wealthy would be perceived by them as being given a couple pennies every month

$1000 to someone with $100,000 is like $1,000,000 to someone with $100,000,000. To make your point you’d have to do it backwards: $1000 to someone with $100,000,000 is like $1 to someone with $100,000.

The way someone with $100,000,000 would perceive $1000 is how someone with $100,000 would perceive $1.

Yea, I rewrote it in a way that makes more sense. The word “like” was the wrong choice, as it assumes I’m trying to compare proportionally.
