"How Much Was This Ramen Actually Worth?"
"Given a standard 53' trailer:
A 53' trailer has interior dimensions of 47'6" x 98.5" x 107.375" and a capacity of 3,489 cubic feet.
A 24 ct. box of Ramen Noodles has dimensions of 15" x 12" x 12" or a volume of 1.25 cubic feet.
u/Goldencaramel pointed out that I need to take in account for the pallets.
Pallets are 40" x 48" x 5" roughly. If the floor of the trailer has dimensions as listed above, you can fit 14 pallets lengthwise, and 2 width-wise. On the pallet itself, you can stack roughly 3 boxes of Ramen width-wise (40/12 = 3.33), 3 length-wise (48/15 = 3.2), and 4 height wise in order to be able to stack 2 pallets high in the truck (4*12 = 48). This gives the pallet, with the product a height of 53". Given the height of a trailer is 107.375", you can stack two pallets on top of each other with this packing method.
Therefore, you can fit 56 (14 x 2 x 2) pallets, each carrying 36 (3 x 3 x 4) boxes of Ramen into the truck
This means the maximum number of 24 ct. boxes of Ramen you can fit in a 53' trailer with pallets is 2016 (56 x 36)
These boxes sell at ~$12 at my local BJ's which means that the trailer would have a consumer value of about $24,192 (2016 * $12)
Now according to several people, you wouldn't stack pallets containing a product so fragile on top of one another. Also, according to a fellow freight broker, you can only fit 26 pallets in a trailer.
Re-do the math for a more "real-world" cost estimate and you come out to:
2636$12 = $11,232"

If Jeff Bezos is worth $188 billion, is it somehow a good thing to take $187 billion away from him? That’s a wealth tax of over 99%. Almost $170 billion of his wealth is in Amazon stock. Who would take ownership of his company away from him, a government? That’s Socialism. Karl Marx would be proud.
Then add on the fact that NOBODY knows how much it would cost to "fix" the issues they list, assuming they can be fixed or, conversely, are issues.
Knowing how to do algebra doesn't make you intelligent.
Hunger is a business, because the price is defined by scarcity.
To keep the prices stable food gets thrown away.
Climate is defined by the average weather in a certain time, for example a decade.
Regarding Climate, the only constant is change.
We are at the end of an ice age btw, so it's only natural glaciers and permafrost thaw.
I wonder how OCD she was. Like was she recording every local, national, UHF, and cable channels available where she lived. Did she do it by herself or hire people to change the tapes in her banks of VCRs? Did she have a normal day job? Where was she warehousing those tapes? If this was a one woman operation, imaging having to program all those VCRs to stagger when they'd start recording. If I remember correctly, at the lowest quality recording, a VHS tape only lasts 6 hours.
The odds of winning the lottery are in multiples of millions.
For our case, let's say the odds are 1 in one million. So what is 1 in a million?
Take a golf ball and measure it's diameter which is 1.68 inches.
Now, place your golf ball in with one million golf balls and place them in a line.
Your job is to pick out your golf ball from the line.
You would have a line of golf balls 26.51 Miles long to select from!
Bad odds I'd say.
