    I wonder how much healthier the economy would be if all bank accounts were stored in a 32-bit system. No one account can read more than 21,474,836.47

      Whatever you intend to achieve with this, it would be of zero consequence for multiple reasons. one reason is that everyone can have multiple accounts and many ppl already do. In my teens there was a time I had 4, but now I just have 2.

      Also, what does this have to do with “the West”? Are you implying this vast region has sone sort of unhealthy condition related to the maximum number of digits in their account balances?
