@david It never worked. I is a hoaks of the rich.

@david

Willie Sutton denied ever saying why he robbed banks, but he did say that the statement is obviously true (banks indeed are where the money is).

@david Nah, I'd be content with beating their assets with sticks until the money comes out and can be redistributed. The punishment need not be corporeal — corporate punishment will do.
@jyrgenn @david Are we quite sure it has to be either/or rather than both-and?

@david

Piñata Economics: Political Cartoon is by Bill Bramhall in the New York Daily News.

Alt Text: Trump blindfolded counting to three in Spanish holding a club labelled tariffs. Person hanging from tree with ‘Consumers’ written across their top.

This was drawn in 2019…

@david What do you think? Should I get a stick, a hurley or a cricketbat?
@david at first I read that as piranha economics, which might also be worth a try
@aethernaut Oh that would be amazing.
@david
Have the illustrated meme version (source unknown, it's a meme)
@HighlandLawyer I'm in with the beatings.
@david @HighlandLawyer I mean, I'd still want to do the beatings even if the piñata were empty. I just think it would be healthy all around if we ganged up and beat rich people.
@msbellows @HighlandLawyer Got my 38mm combo wrench ready.
@david @HighlandLawyer It makes me happy to see people make good choices like that.
@msbellows To quote the most delusional President of all time - what have you got to lose?
@david Sticks? H'mm. Maybe for unusually broad (and heavy, bulky, spiky, etc) definition of "sticks".
@isocat a wooden baseball bat is also a “stick”.
@david Jefe, would you say I have a *plethora* of piñatas?

@david

Can I get in Line? How big is the stick?

@david I approve, endorse and enthuse.
@david Hell yeah let's get that fucking candy
