Bailout / Stimulus Discussion (Hints Missed & Shartz Fired)

They all know

Some are probably true believers but I think most of them know, and they also know their job is to advance the interests of the wealthy donor class, I.e. keep proposing marginally less insulting solutions until the peasants put down their pitchfork. The assignment for them is to minimize the harm to the donors, not help the most peasants.

On the bright side, if UBI isn’t enacted for the duration of this crisis, we are drawing very live to guillotines being used when the masses revolt.

I’m down for some trillion dollar gelt. Those would be YUGE.

I would never be allowed near them. I can’t help myself around chocolate. Especially a trillion dollar chocolate coin, though you gotta think you’d be inevitably disappointed.

Might as well watch the whole episode:

Confirms that $1t coin somehow acquired by rich person will be stolen, as predicted by @beetlejuice.

I’ve got this as the most clairvoyant Simpsons episode

Fucking 1996
