That's a pretty penny.

Yeah but they eared more than double that in profit in their 2023 year. This is taxes over a 20 year period.

In this context it does not seem like it’s too much.

It's still way more than "none". Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good.

I didn't believe you so I looked it up. You're wrong. Their gross profit is over 4x that amount in 2023.

I got my number from the article that was posted.
