Trickle down economics
For the past 50 years they’ve tried to give the wealthy some money but no matter how much they gave the rich, only a little trickled down to the poor
So they’ve decided to just turn on the money fire hose and shower the rich with all the money they can get their hands on … it’s a literal avalanche of money and hopefully this will trickle down and get some more money to the poor.
For every million they send to a rich person, ten bucks goes to a street person … so we need to spend billions, trillions of dollars on these rich people in order to get enough money to people in need.
If you got 10 bucks for every million towards billionaires you’d actually be a millionaire. The ratio was more like a cent for every million.
I think they mean $999,990 goes to person A and $10 goes to person B.
If you want to create one (1) millionaire that way you would need to spend $999,000,000,000. Imagine how that would look with 1 cent to every million.
Are the two of you even talking about the same data? Maybe you spread the $10 over 1,000 people to get to that number of $0,01.
Trickle down economics
A sound bit to fool the common clay rubes - fools them over, and over, and over. Rinse and repeat.
With far fewer irs agents, they can’t effectively audit tax cheats.
We are funding the complete destruction of Palestine.
Golf is expensive.
He’s been sued 220 times for the 100 days he has been in office. Lawyers are really expensive. (Well unless you blackmail them.)
Fun fact! Tariffs aren’t collected by the IRS, they’re collected by Customs and Border Protection, a sibling organization to ICE
Every GOP accusation is an admission. Where is the money going? Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.
Trump buying gold gimcracks for the Oval Office on late night TV.
So apparently those things are spray painted plastic and available for $30 at home depot.
And bitcoin, so it’s untraceable
Tesla sales WAYYYY down… missed earnings on EPS and revenue… somehow the stock goes up?
Yes. You simply have no clue how the stock market works. Short term price action means nothing. More than 90% of all trades are done by bots on complex algos.
I thought this would be appropriate…
It’s a cult. I overheard two Trumpers talking how the tariffs will only hurt for a little bit, but once everything religns, things will be great.
You didn’t think they actually spent ten thousand dollars for a hammer and thirty thousand for a toilet seat, did you?
I mean, look at me. I look like a schlemiel
Did not expect an Armageddon reference.
And there goes the national debt…TO THE MOON 📈📈📈
yeah some of the billionaires money isn’t even real, the government just gives it to them without having it in the first place
any global conflicts currently? nope.
any actual national emergencies currently? nope.
any international catastrophes recently? nope.
republicunt in the white house? yup.
ding. ding. we have a winner. to the fucking moon the debt shall go.
And the only real stipulations is the oppression of your workers and bending the knee to those more money than you.
Golfing is expensive these days.
How much for a room at a Trump hotel for the secret service? Asking for a friend.
Goddamnit, I hate this shit. Its simple, folks. You have to spend money to make money. That’s how the saying goes, and that’s how the world works. When my car insurance goes up despite my flawless driving record, I don’t ask them to explain where the money is going, I just pay my fucking bills. When my rent gets increased despite the house I’m in literally falling apart around me, I don’t ask why they don’t send repair people, I just pay my goddamned rent. You all act so entitled, like there is some great value that is to be derived from your work. You’re a fucking slob just like everyone else, and you are lucky that the companies trust you enough to do business with you in the first place. Hell, I’d pay double just to get a meaty black uncut cock in the ass and I’d be thankful for the privilege. I mean, I’d pay them a lot of money for that. Even if it was just one time. Just once, and I would sing their praises. Just, sing. Fuck you, anyway. Fucking slobs. Stop wasting your time posting about this shit online and get back to work.
Had me in the first half. But judging by the downvotes, half the people don’t recognize sarcasm :)
Satire is dead.
Can’t downvote because I agree, can’t upvote because it’s depressing.
Time for a sidevote.
lol yikes it took a racial turn didnt it? always does with them ya
Unrelated, is this a newer format on Twitter or are people manually recreating simple Twitter screenshots for some reason?
It might be mastodon. I don’t know though. Maybe it’s just a twitter skin
Nope, that’s not Mastodon. Neither account exists there.
Did anyone confirm it was actually ever posted to Twitter?
It’s a reverse reverse funnel system
i think we should plan the revolution as a hypothetical. lay the blueprints out online for everyone to see. it’s as easy as “if i were going to do X, i would begin by X. if a lot of us did X together then…”
revolution by committee with full transparency. when the plan involves millions of people acting in unison, there’s not a whole lot you can do about it, even if you know what’s coming.
It’s not a revolution, but a general strike would force the government to make changes.
I make the equivalent of $1800/month. I barely make ends meet. Every time I strike I incur a $80 deduction for the working day I skip. Sometimes I cannot afford to strike.
maybe. i’m skeptical but not opposed.
You’re not wrong. But there won’t be enough people. Too many people not willing to risk what they have for a chance at a better world.
Inb4 “doomer post” I’m trying to be realistic. It would be incredible if we could all save up a month’s worth of food and all strike for an entire week.
I think a general boycott might be more realistic. Look at Target, look at Tesla. But even then, do you think we could get enough people to stop using Amazon for a month? The only thing they care about it money, so that’s where you have to make waves.
Imo, ideally, perfect world and 100% buy-in, we would all have vegetable gardens. When someone needs a new roof it would only cost them raw materials because neighbors would come after their 9-5 to help with free labor, or if someone’s car broke down they could take to “that guy” in the neighborhood who has tools and knowledge. And he would only charge for parts because the neighborhood helped him for free with his roof. People taking care of people, not for money but because it makes the world a better place for everyone. The less people are dependent on “the system”, the less control it has over them.
You are a bit late. The plan is already underway
we all know what P25 is. we don’t need to keep talking about that. let’s come up with solutions, not complaints.
I think you missed the point.
The link was a tounge-in-cheek reply about how the fascists openly planned and are implementing an authoritarian “revolution”, and basically got away with it by telling their voters “lol no we aren’t going to do that, it’s just the libs lyin’ again”, and then immediately going with “Project 2025 has been the plan all along” once trump was President elect.
i think YOU missed the point. we’re all aware of what they did. why keep repeating the same shit over and over? we know they’re idiots and liars. we don’t need tongue in cheek commentary. we don’t need comedians. we need people who are ready to do something about it.
Hey, you’re hot right now. Why don’t you step away for a bit, take a little walk, maybe work on something else for a bit and then come back?
you’re goddamned right i’m hot right now. most of you children were raised on the social media concept of “calmer than you are”, and it’s been very effective at neutering all of you.
why are you afraid of anger? anger is a motivator. anger gets shit done.
you just literally refuted the idea that we should be working together to stop this shit in favor of ‘clever’ banter about it. do you realize how useless you are? do you realize how fucking tired your political commentary is? did you just get here? your tongue in cheek shtick has been done 5 million fucking times, and it hasn’t stopped one fucking thing this admin is doing. grow up.
you just literally refuted the idea that we should be working together to stop this shit…
I didn’t refute that. I didn’t refute anything. I merely suggested that you did not interpret the intent of the above comment correctly.
As for not doing shit to stop this… No amount of shit posting on a memes oriented fediverse forum is going to inspire real world revolution. You’ve got an axe to grind, I get it, but don’t get mad at me because I told you “sir, this is a McDonalds”.
Seriously. Take a a step back. Reflect on what you are doing, and where you are doing it. You aren’t helping any cause by being a reactionary lashing out at everyone and everything with no regard to what gets hit.
we don’t need to keep talking about that.
You do. That is what you are revolting against. You don’t think they have considered their opposition in their planning?
You don’t think they have considered their opposition in their planning?
i absolutely do. these people are meticulous even if their leader is a buffoon. but just because they’re expecting to get punched in the mouth doesn’t mean you shouldn’t punch them in the mouth.
If they are expecting to get punched in the mouth then maybe you should punch them in the dick.

I jest, but this isn’t what motivates people. Movements happen because people care about them. Something that has meaning.
lol. i forgot about that video, but that is exactly what i’m talking about.
🤔
Not trickling down, that’s for sure.
Musk is still smiling…
