A catastrophic economic collapse is not funny, unless you have no money. Then it’s hilarious. It’s hilarious to watch the entitled, self-righteous assholes turn pale and start to run around in panic.

Ha, ha, ha, where are you going to run to billionaire? There’s no escape from this! Welcome to our world.

They’re desperately trying to charge up their electric vehicles, but they don’t know how anything works. They don’t realize somebody has to make that electricity. It isn’t naturally forming in the outlet. It requires effort. It requires putting on boots and gloves and a hard hat.

When you say things like that, billionaires reel back and hiss like a feral cat.

HISSSSSSSS!

That’s not a typical morning for a billionaire. They usually wake up at the crack of noon and take a sip at their expensive macchiato which was made from freshly roasted beans flown in by helicopter at sunrise.

They didn’t pay for the helicopter, government subsidies took care of that.
