Time for the piñata economy!

Spray n’ Pray economy
It never existed to begin with. It was always “stash and horde”
So, an economy where the most violent and best-armed are the most wealthy? lol
I don’t know what kind of shitty parties you’ve been to, but normally, when the piñata breaks open, everyone rushes up and gets some. It doesn’t all go to the person with the bat.

Pinata candy has never been equally distributed among all of the children, that I’ve ever seen. Sure, parents will often intervene to make sure everyone gets some, but the one who succeeds in breaking it always gets the most.

And that’s my point.

Is someone paying you or are you this ridiculous for free?
I don’t think you understand how big this piñata is… there is far more than all the kiddies could eat in a lifetime.

ACKSHULLY,

The person who breaks it open has their hands full of bat and a blindfold over their eye. Whereas the rest of the ~jackals~~ children are pissed to spring!

So the person who breaks the piñata usually get less, or even nothing.

Being pedantic with the meme are we?

The point is that we need to break that piñata. We can do it the nice and easy way, institutionally and orderly, with wealth taxes that are punitive enough to undo the obscene degree of inequality. Or we can do it the hard way with guillotines. Obviously I much much rather prefer the first, I would indeed like to keep my hobbies and walk my dog. So the patricians better go along, because the plebs cannot be blamed if they end up with no other option than violent revolution.

You mean… like the one we have now?

They go hand in hand: first you crack the piñata open, then its contents trickle down.

Thus far we’ve skipped the first part, and have been foolishly waiting for the trickle down.

So your saying it’s a very plump pinata?
It’s a testable hypothesis! clicks pen
Beat it until money stops coming out and leave its pulped remains for dead?
Why is Mr. Rogers’ cat lecturing me about economics?!
He got radicalized when Trump cut funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
If we open up the shareholders we get the profit
Why in Mr. Roger’s house though, that’s a lot of cleanup.
Daniel Tiger’s not fucking around anymore.
It’s kinda giving me anarcho-capitalist vibes personally.
Beating the rich and redistributing their wealth gives you capitalist vibes?
Piniatas aren’t obviously full of candy from the outside; they are the fancily dressed up target by a local authority, beaten by a mob.
I think breaking pinatas breaks the nap.
This is why they hate Mexicans so much.
