As of 2024, 806 people in the US control as much wealth as the bottom 50% of the population.
If every one of those billionaires has 10 billion dollars, thats equivalent to about 165 million people who each have ~49,000.
(EDIT: Each of) those 806, ten-billionaires then have ~204,082x as much wealth as any of those 165 million people.
However, I believe I can solve this problem for a fairly low cost.
Assuming each ten billionaire has approximately 10 close friends/relatives…and we want to just be super duper sure the problem is solved, so we’ll buy 100 of those uh, investment options, per social contagion vector…
That works out to a total cost of around ~$310,000.
Split between those 165 million people, that’s one fifth of a cent, per person.
Does anyone want to guess what my special purpose investment vehicle to achieve said disruption of the malignent social contagaion market is?
Also more facts, a bit shy of 1/10 Americans are millionaires.
So the distribution of wealth for the lowest class is horrendous. Almost 1/10 actually want this system and are arselicking the billionaires because they too are -illionaires.
This is a good … math exercise. However, you will likely need to add 10 or so more that will need to be contaminated before people actually stop investigating. That is the key … making sure people are to afraid of those that are contaminated so the stay away and dont look around.
where do you find pinatas for under five large? like, i wouldn’t trust someone asking that little for a pinata. i’d assume they had, i dunno, smuggled drugs in the pinata and were trying to frame me to the fbi

They made their own prison.
Also also, a typical US family of mom dad kid1 kid2?
Yeah, turns out they need to be making $140k … to just get by.

I’ve been saying similar things as this guy for about a decade now… I’m also an econometrician, just signifcantly less pedigreed…
Ok so yeah anyway, only about 27.5% of households, or roughly 36 million of them, make that much.
So… just a tad more than a quarter of basically people are even capable of financially, safely, supporting a family.
Gee I wonder why birth rates are going down.

Shit.
Well ok then, add another 0.
5 whole cents per pinata partier.
Shame that everyone’s so broke these days, eh?

How the fuck do you spent 5k on a pinata? Even a really fancy pinata with optics doesn’t cost that much.
Uh… pinatabroker?
Failing that, your city or town probably has a pawn shop.
They probably feature pinatas for sale, from time to time.
pawn broker is precisely where i expect to get set up by the feds for buying an unlicensed pinata
… Just get a legally licensed pinata?
And then learn how to have a pinata party that is fully invite only, and leaves no mess behind, then goes home and back to their business?
The uh, recent bad pinata party that’s been in the news?
Dude got away.
The FBI has literally nothing on this person, aside of some basically useless, shitty footage, of a POI, not even a suspect.
This person is … pinata party capable, and just… at large.
They have no idea who he is, where he is.
I’m high and confused and want candy
Oim high and not confused and think that’s a pretty great idea. Wanna go get some candy?
Personally, I would not suggest attending a pinata party while high, that seems very irresponsible to me.
