mmmm, that's a lot of trillions.
mmmm, that's a lot of trillions.
@PaulWermer So many, a gazillion, perhaps
Kristian Haapa-ah0)))@_L1vY_ over a trillion trillion, eh?
@eryops Not sure they have the right number of zeros there but I've lost count 😂
Bluedepth@_L1vY_ It sort of feels so abstract to be meaningless. The scale of pearl clutching I guess? Thousands of dollars! Gasp! Hundreds of thousands… millions… billions… trillions… aaaaaand… quadrillions.
After a while you stop feeling it. Then the theme song for Annie occurs to me, “The Sun’ll come up, tomorrow…”
@Bluedepth The great thing about not having much / any money in savings or "retirement" is there's no account to watch drop catastrophically!
@_L1vY_ When the rich learn that the rest of us have quit the game, when we are growing food and helping each other, simply signing deeds to cars and houses for nothing, when we all just stop accepting the belief of capitalism, all they will have is a schmeer of data in some ACH EDI data file and… nothing else. From the richest to “penniless” (and they discontinued the penny! Ba dum tiss!)
Capitalism only works if we all believe and agree. When that stops… that’s when the fun starts.

@nini Quick, everybody buy!?!
Abie@_L1vY_ That's one trillion, not one trillion trillion
