sorry scrooge mcduck

Stock options count for a bunch too

higher taxes actually benefits them because startups cannot compete now

net worth is not how much cash they have in their bank accounts

most wealthy people invest in other businesses

in exchange for equity

angel investors are a thing yes

@Misomania not a economist here but isn't the reason the American dollar is valuble is because of oil behind it or somthing?

most of the time they dont expect a return, so they invest in a bunch

Thats pretty much the short of it archon

ahh the petrol dollar

@Archon we used to have it tied to the petrol dollar but that went away a few years back

oil is traded exclusively in USD

is it not anymore?

The American dollar isn't backed by anything

no, but most mega corps are based in america... call it a tech dollar I guess

it's determined by interest rates

god dammit the fucking economy is horse shit

along with the federal rerserve and it's interest based usuary

we have a huge debt that people claim to care about

the reason it doesn't matter is because nobody can claim their debt from us by force

because we spent our fucking debt on our military

try and claim it

the whole china shit

it's fucking fake

we have already become the loaded gun of the world

we also spent our military protecting them, leaving them with cucked police men carrying billyclubs

looked up a vid by cat factory or whateve she explained the federal reserve might be behind alot of our financial fluxuations

the fed is solely responsible for that

yeah and they did the good job apparently

let's see china come and claim our debt

they determine the interest rates for the fiscal year

it won't happen

how many trillions will it take

it doesn't fucking matter

which determines how much people invest and loan

money is fake now

at least on that level
