In the words of Scrooge McDuck: <URL: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rMeiB.png> But guys, surely you are familiar with the exponential function: * Everybody can afford a year for $1. * Every worthwhile creation is worth $1,000 for ten years. * And if Disney can pay the fee for Mickey Mouse for fifty years, the United States Government can quit all taxation, pay off the national debt and buy every American a luxury yacht and a private island in the Caribbean.
