We should measure size of files/storage as a function of how many ~~standardized~~ png’s of an american flag would fit in the same amount of space.

Surely it would be a standardized png determined by each state legislation so... of varying sizes.

It would be of the state flags, with resolution and compression determined by the state supreme courts obviously.
