The truth is out: The game has been rigged for ages...

The image is a two-panel meme featuring Chris Evans as Captain America looking shocked, then Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man looking grim. Text overlays explain that a million seconds (dollars) equals 11 days, representing the average lifetime wealth of a middle-class citizen, and a billion seconds (dollars) equals 32 years, worth about nickels. The bottom panel shows the 'Captain America: Civil War' logo with 'CLASS!!' scribbled over it in yellow. The joke highlights the absurdity of comparing wealth to time by using the same unit (seconds/dollars) for vastly different scales, implying that even a billion dollars is barely enough for a middle-class person's lifetime wealth.
