I wonder if trickle down economics would check out if CEOs were replaced by robots who made decisions on how to allocate funds...

Oh, your company has over x employees or pulls in over y tax dollars? Hello C-suite. Meet AI-C, your entire c-suite replacement AI. You're all immediately bought out. You may serve on a board of directors but it's salary will be determined by the AI-C.

A guy can dream.

Joke’s on you, the CEO funded the robots and they all gave him a raise.

The C suite's purpose is to generate value for the shareholders. Unless AI-C delivers that value the old guard will be back in no time.

I'm more of a believer in "Piñata economics" myself

Of course trickle down works. I just don't get how people came to believe that the rich people (i.e. the place with all the money/water) is the top of the mountain and the poor people were the ocean.

There are so many reasons why money constantly trickles from the poor all the way down to the rich.

What an interesting perspective, the pyramid was upside down all along.

It's actually more of a funnel

Hey, it's not like it was tried and failed before. Remember how well it worked the the 20's?

One of the best memes I have seen on Lemmy so far and there are a few really good ones in that collection already!
