Now I need to do the math on space karen/ henery ford 2.0 aka Mr my autism makes me prone to outbursts of fascist apologia.
I did the math recently and if you took the assets of the wealthiest 1% and divided only half of it amongst the remaining 336.3 million Americans it would be a check of approximately 68,000 for every man woman and child and those bloated blood sucking leaches would still have an average remainder of just under 6 million dollars each.
I like the energy, but you're not going to sell 92 Billion dollars worth of stocks for 92 Billion dollars.
Then the stocks shouldn't be worth that much and the man shouldn't be able to spend like he has $92 billion
Stocks aren't the exception, if a massive amount of USD holdings were sold off it would also plummet in value.
Its basic Supply and Demand.
Usd has plummeted in value though and those in control of the economic system have manipulated it to hide this reality. For instance Inflation statistics are calculated by the world bank and IMF using Consumer price index which is extremely flawed mostly because CPI does not account for the 2 primary driving forces of inflation… the increase in circulating currency supply and leveraged national debt. So they are feeding us highly skewed inflation numbers to prevent the workers from rioting/ fomenting a revolution so their passive income faucet keeps flowing.
Saying that “It Doesn’t Work that way” is just highlighting the reality that the entire system is rigged and set up to benefit those in control over those doing the actual labor and creating the profit
This might seem like an odd question, but whats your opinion of NATO?
