Trickle down works, you just have to remember that those with the money are like piñatas. You have to hit them very hard woth a stick and the economics will fall out of them.
Hitting them with a stick? Don’t have one of those.
The best I can do is a guillotine.
While that’s not traditional for a piñata, I’ll allow it.
def. of Capitalism
It’s working as intended.
Imagine the things we could do if we took all that wealth and shared it among the working class.
But that would be communism, and communism killed millions, so we have to have fascism, which also killed millions, bit this time pikie promise it won’t, it’ll just remove certain ideologies from society.
And millions of people.
Give the poorest 250 million people in the USA 2000 dollars each. Elon definitely acquired all that money through his intelligence and hard work, so he’ll have no problems replacing it.
Trickle-down? You mean Vacuum-Up economics?
It definitely sucks.
“Person’s worth” is such a disturbing concept. Specially if it has units.
Vote with your time and money. Society enables this…
Wow, who knew he’d get richer after using an illegitimate department of the government created specifically for him to destroy the investigations into his companies and remove competing contracts for his business?
And all he had to do was cook some voting books to get Trump elected in order to be given this power.
And somehow being a Nazi was only a small bump in the road…
We are literally repeating the last century. 1918 was a big pandemic. 1929 was the crash of the economy. Brace yourselves.
And the crash this time will be due to AI datacenter shenanigans - billions being promised in new infrastructure to build massive money drains because AI is not and will not be profitable. Nvidia is laughing
Don’t forget about WW1 and WW2 :)
hes also going hard on AI, because VC funds are still pouring in for the moment.
Man the loot box is getting bigger.
I have a coworker who said “I’m a Regan Republican, I always believed trickle down economics” just last year…
I said “man how many more fucking decades of it not working do you need before you realize it’s bullshit??”
He was just like “hmmm, yeah I guess…”
Some people just put 0 thought into a stance they acquired at some point in the past…
Wow, income growth for the bottom 80% just stopped in the 1970s. what a weird coincidence!
so more nixon republican then
Reagan was the 80s.
Neoliberalism began with Carter though

In 1967, one Union job was enough to support a family of four with a house, a car, and money to send the kids to college. At that time, $1 million was considered a vast fortune. GOP Richard Nixon was elected in 1968.
By 1993, ‘middle class’ meant two incomes to support a family. $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
The US had five terms of GOP Presidents and one term of Dem in those years.
Other countries didn’t have Nixon and the same happened so It must be something more than that.
Or, US economic influence is considerably greater than you considered.
Can you list a few countries where the same also happened? Thanks.
Canada, Australia, most of the EU (some were never able to support a family with a single income to begin with, so those don’t count), UK (they had Tacher tho so I will say they had a “Nixon”)
Gee, you mean that the country with the greatest economic influence has influence???
Global affordability issues are a direct effect of the US.
The only thing that trickles down is their piss onto our heads while they say it’s just raining.
Oh. It is not BS. It is working exactly as intended.
They just tell people it’ll do something different than what it actually intends to do.
