    I wonder if trickle down economics would check out if CEOs were replaced by robots who made decisions on how to allocate funds…

    Oh, your company has over x employees or pulls in over y tax dollars? Hello C-suite. Meet AI-C, your entire c-suite replacement AI. You’re all immediately bought out. You may serve on a board of directors but it’s salary will be determined by the AI-C.

    A guy can dream.

      Joke’s on you, the CEO funded the robots and they all gave him a raise.

    Of course trickle down works. I just don’t get how people came to believe that the rich people (i.e. the place with all the money/water) is the top of the mountain and the poor people were the ocean.

    There are so many reasons why money constantly trickles from the poor all the way down to the rich.

    Hey, it’s not like it was tried and failed before. Remember how well it worked the the 20’s?

    One of the best memes I have seen on Lemmy so far and there are a few really good ones in that collection already!

    How dare you use Rob Swanson for this meme.

      Whatever you do, don’t look up Nick Offerman and his politics - I’d hate for that little fantasy safe space in your head to be squeezed out by reality.

          Wait - you mean to tell me that Parks and Recreation isn’t real? That I was talking about the actor?

          This is a noodle scratcher.

      You know the actor is very liberal right? What’re you gonna do now, threaten to kill us?

      That’s not Rob Swanson; it’s Duke Silver.
