The Economy (lemmy.world)

Kspacewalk2 13 minutes ago | prev | next [-] fwo economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other "I'll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says "Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit. Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing." "That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!" 16 Sept 2023, 20:45 530 17

Are you assuming I dont read books because I made a joke you didnt like? Wow, you must be insufferable to be that quick of judgement.

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

No, i assume you don't read because you made ignorant statements.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Do you think this joke is more or less "ignorant" than the OP?

They're both jokes man.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

Maybe not, but it is damn well more funny since it actually has a punch line instead of being nothing but criticism.

[-] landlordlover@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Genocide denier fuck off. 🖕

Go larp somewhere else, I blocked your ass.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You made a joke literally nobody would like, because it was a shit joke. "Trolling" hasn't been a thing in 20 years, get on with the times.
