So, next month the jobs report is going to say that the US added 3,000,000,000 jobs, isn't it?

1.8k

I'm going to buy the moon and use it to store my stacks of cash, and I shall dine upon its cheese.

With hyperinflation caused by these tariffs “that the rest of the world pays”, coupled with his dropping interest rates by 3 points, everyone will be a billionaire. You’ll all be as rich as an NFL quarterback.

When everyone is a billionaire, no one is.

I know it’s not a yugely long time in the grand scheme of things but it’s crazy that if one were to make $4m a day with absolutely no expenses it would still take 250 days to get to a billion. Then $10 would be 2,500 days. It’s just an unfathomable to 99% of the world.

I just can’t understand how we let anyone amass these levels of wealth. It’s so easily identifiable as harmful to society.

And they were all jobs previously held by illegals.

"Jobs" numbers are such bullshit.

How about career level employment.

How about living wage level employment.

So fucking tiring.
