Yeah, no one in any other country is paying trumps tarrifs..
But your GDP claims?
Bro, penguins move massive amounts of precious stones, which they value incredibly highly. I tried to trade a penguin $20 mil in Bitcoin for a single pebble, and that fucker turned me down, wouldn't even negotiate.
Using capitalist math, that means every shiny pebble in Antarctica is worth more than $20million each, and they're exchanging possibly thousands annually! That puts them at least 20 trillion annual GDP.
Now, I've secured my own pile of 10 shiny stones, and have secured loans against for a paltry $20 million, interest rates are super low because of all the capital I own. So I bought your student loan debt and can turn a profit even after my loan's interest by doing absolutely nothing.
See how fun the investor capitalist system is?
So the penguins are doing a De Beers, shiny stones, market manipulation and all.
Nah, Penguins really do value shiny pebbles and they trade them, especially males wooing females.
De Beers would be like if I destroyed the artic and enslaved the penguins to find the pebbles and give them to me to hoard.
Then I only sold 10k a year so people thought they were rare when really any pebble is shinny if you shine it.
Like, De Beers is one of the most evil fucking companies, I'd have to be chopping flippers off all over the place to make that analogy work
