To put this another way:

1 million seconds = about 11 days

1 Billion seconds = about 32 years

1 Trillion seconds = 32,000 years!

Sobering to think that our elected princes have lost sight of the real debt (16 T) versus the promised, future debt.
That could be 100 T +) Meanwhile, the king admits that he is not so good at arithmetic and can’t help his daughters with theirs.

Or as I have heard it described, most people have a reasonably good idea of what they'll be doing in a million seconds, very little idea of what they'll be doing in a billion seconds, and know precisely what they'll be doing in a trillion seconds. :-)
