Yeah no kidding - I can't even see how this could be an April Fools joke article, let alone an article on a regular day of the week. It's totally unbelievable.

There are 1440 minutes in the day. Multiplied by the 90 days in 3 months makes 129,600 minutes. Divide $218,000,000,000,000 by 129,600 and you get a $1,682,098,765 per minute charge. It's unfathomable.

How does this article even get published?
