I wouldn't be surprised if the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger starts using tenths of seconds when the people start slowing down again. Then, milliseconds. After a few years, they will start using microseconds. If they think people have enough sense to use the words, they may even start telling people that we are "nanoseconds" away starting around 2034. After that, they will use the term picoseconds. Then femtoseconds, attoseconds, zeptoseconds, yoctoseconds... after which point, they are going to run out of terms.
And Armageddon will still be nowhere near at hand.
