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.

I can actually picture someone making this argument in earnest.

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

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.)

Every GOP accusation is an admission. Where is the money going? Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

Tesla sales WAYYYY down… missed earnings on EPS and revenue… somehow the stock goes up?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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.

But because of the belligerent attitude other countries stopped buying US debt, at a time where debt is exploding and up for renewable. Something is going to break.

Unrelated, is this a newer format on Twitter or are people manually recreating simple Twitter screenshots for some reason?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It might be mastodon. I don't know though. Maybe it's just a twitter skin

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Nope, that's not Mastodon. Neither account exists there.

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.

we all know what P25 is. we don't need to keep talking about that. let's come up with solutions, not complaints.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (10 children)

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.

It's not a revolution, but a general strike would force the government to make changes.
