I think it’s funnier to imply they eyeballed it, lol

Despite popular belief among ideologues of all stripes, sanctimony and virtue are not the same thing.

$10k would definitely not make me stop caring about whether I lose my job, lol.

An asset appreciating in value does not deprive anyone else of money in their wallet.

If you bought a rookie baseball card for $5, the player had a great year and now the card’s worth $100, your net worth increased by $95. But who is down $95 as a result of your card becoming more valuable?

Nobody. Wealth is not zero sum. And the vast majority of increases in wealth among the wealthiest is newly-created wealth. You literally can’t become a billionaire in a human lifetime simply by short-changing your workers. A linear increase like that just will not get you there.

Also, wealth in the form of purchased investments into businesses that run within the economy, is literally the opposite of hoarding. If you buy things with your money, you’re not hoarding your money.

Even if you could wave a magic wand and magically convert all that net worth straight across into that amount of cold hard cash, it wouldn’t pay for a measly $10k UBI for all working-age Americans for more than two years.

Then what’s the plan? That 10k costs over $2 trillion.

Imagine someone coming up to the counter to inform the barista that someone took a 20 oz shit

Do you really perceive there to be nothing in between ‘leftism’ and Nazi? That extremes are all that exist? That the only people who aren’t a fan of one kind of echo chamber are those who want it to be a different kind of echo chamber?

The bar for “meme” is apparently underground, lol.

No, the explanation that involves conspiracy is not the simpler explanation.
